Long Island man wins second $10M NY Lottery scratch-off jackpot
Juan Hernandez struck gold this week with a huge scratch-off game win, and it's not the first time he's done it either.

UNIONDALE, New York (WABC) -- One Uniondale man struck gold this week with a huge scratch-off game win, and its not the first time he's done it either.

Juan Hernandez claimed his $10 million top prize on Tuesday after playing the New York Lottery's $10 million deluxe scratch-off game.

But Hernandez said he's, "still trying to spend the $10,000,000" that he won back in 2019.

That time Hernandez lucked out after playing the $350 million Cash Spectacular scratch-off game.

His most recent ticket was purchased at a Hempstead Stop & Shop located at 150 Fulton Avenue.

Hernandez opted to receive his winnings in a single lump sum-- a cool $6,510,000.

As of tonight, there are three $10 million top prizes left on the deluxe scratch-off game.
