That's because Bob is the first ever to win New Hampshire's lottery grand prize, twice Pretty darn lucky.

"I still buy tickets if say I am using their money now."

The first time was on thanksgiving 2005. The relatives wanted Bob to check his numbers after he found out the winning ticket had been purchased at his local variety store.

"And in a little while he came down and just mouthed we won… it was a nice thanksgiving."

They took the nearly two million and did all the fun things that hadn't before.

Pretty lucky. They went to Alaska… and Africa… and might be going back. That because Bob has won again. Lotto officials

"They were both easy picks"

And just so you know… if you buy lottery tickets you are competing against Bob.

"Tomorrow is another day, there is another drawing tomorrow remember."
