New Hampshire Couple Hits Lottery Prize Twice in Four Years

Bob Jaracz of Nashua, NH has always believed himself a lucky guy. In light of the fact he has won the lottery twice, who can really dispute that?

Jaracz said he plays the lottery weekly. Like many other players, he picks the numbers quickly and randomly, and buys his tickets at random stores.

But unlike those other players, he’s hit the lottery twice for over a million dollars.

Winning the Lottery in 2005

The first time was on Thanksgiving Day 2005, when he won Tri-State Megabucks for $1.9 million.

Jaracz said that initially, it was hard to believe. Diane, his wife, said that with all the excitement of telling friends and family, they sort of forgot about the turkey in the oven.

“It was only a little dry,” she said.

The couple used the prize money to settle all their debts, repair their home, purchase a new car and go on some trips.

Winning the Lottery Again in 2009

Then, in late September this year, fate would smile on them a second time.

Jaracz won the Weekly Grand Game for a little more than $1 million. He said he always had the feeling like he was going to win again.

This time around though, Jaracz said he will be dedicating his good fortune to help the Humane Society, the Santa Fund, and other local charities.

When asked if he plans to stop playing the lottery, Jaracz replies, “No way. I think I’m going to win again.”
