A detroit-area man who accidentally bought an extra lottery ticket has won two $1 million jackpots.

（美國）底特律地區一名男子意外多買一張彩券，贏得2組各100萬美元的頭獎。

Samir Mazahem, 56, of Dearborn Heights said he was saving numbers on a lottery app after buying a $2 ticket for the Mega Millions game. He then realized that he had purchased a second ticket with the same numbers.

住在迪爾伯恩海茨的56歲薩米爾．馬札海姆說，他在「超級百萬樂透」的應用程式上，花了2美元買了1張彩券，並把號碼儲存下來後，發現自己竟用同樣的號碼買了2張彩券。

"I was a little bummed but didn’t think much about it," Mazahem said. Until he recently logged onto the app and found he had two $1 million winners.

馬札海姆說：「我有點氣惱，但沒有多想。」直到最近登入應用程式，他才發現自己贏了2張各100萬美元的大獎。

"I couldn’t believe it was real," he said. "It took several days for the reality to set in." He plans to buy a new house and save the rest after claiming his prize.（AP）

他說：「我不敢相信這是真的，過了好幾天才有真實感。」他領獎後打算買新房子，並把剩餘的錢存下來。（美聯社）
