A New York man is making winning $10 million into an annual event.

Wayne Murray of Brooklyn won $10 million playing the New York Lottery's 200X scratch-off game on Tuesday, the lottery said. Last year on Aug. 22, Murray won $10 million playing the Black Titanium game.

He bought each ticket at the same exact store, an H&A Gas & Convenience in Brooklyn.
