ROSEVILLE, Minn. -- A Minnesota lottery player has gotten lucky twice in just over a year. Anthony Fusaro, 46, of Plymouth hit a Gopher 5 jackpot last week worth nearly $875,000. He won $1 million playing Mega Millions last year. Fusaro said in a statement it's just "pure luck" he scored two big lottery wins. But he said he "always believed it would happen again." Lottery spokeswoman Emily Frost told the Star Tribune no other lottery customer in Minnesota has had multiple payouts that large.
