$3 million lottery prize is Missouri couple's second big win

POTOSI, Mo. (AP) - An eastern Missouri couple recently won a $3 million lottery prize and it wasn't the first time they've claimed a big lottery win.

The Missouri Lottery says the couple from Washington County, who asked not to be identified, purchased the winning ticket for the ``Big Riches'' scratcher game at the Short Stop Convenience Shop in Potosi while recently picking up groceries.

They scratched off the ticket inside the store and celebrated with a hug. Winning never gets old. The same couple won a $250,000 lottery prize a few years ago. ``It was just like God blessed us again!'' one of the winners said.
