RICHMOND, Va. – Call Melvyn Wilson is the king of the scratch-off ticket.
The Virginia man recently won his fourth lottery prize of at least five figures, putting his total scratch-off winnings at more than $2 million.
The Virginia Lottery said in a news release that Wilson won $500,000 in November 2004; $25,000 in March 2005; and $1 million in September 2005. Then he retired from his job as a postal worker.
Now 72, Wilson hit another $500,000 scratch-off prize on the Millionaire Mania game.
The lottery didn’t say how many tickets Wilson usually buys or how often. Nobody answered the phone at his home Wednesday.
