Brooklyn resident Wayne Murray's lottery-winning streak began in August 2022 when he scored $10 million (£8m) playing the Black Titanium scratch-off game. In December 2023, Murray struck gold again, winning another $10 million from the 200X scratch-off.

But despite a combined pot of $12 million (£9.7m) after taxes, Murray is still on the hunt for his next big win. According to Hassan Nabil, a former clerk at H&A Gas & Convenience, where Murray made one of his winning purchases, the lottery winner drops around $500 (£400) daily on tickets. Nabil noted that Murray's strategy involves buying different types of tickets to maximise his chances, even though he often ends up losing more than he wins.

Murray, who has been described by neighbours as "humble", said he wished to remain “discreet" after his big wins and has not splashed his cash. He continues to reside in his modest East Flatbush home. However, he did treat himself to a sleek $200,000 (£160k) Range Rover.
