ALBANY, GA --
An Albany man was lucky enough to win $60,000 twice in one day after playing the Georgia Lottery's KENO! game.

While claiming his prize recently at the Georgia Lottery District Office in Tifton, 63-year-old Johnny Holt discovered that he had a second ticket with the same combination, winning another $60,000 prize.

Holt purchased the tickets at the Fairway Store on South Slappey in Albany.

“It feels wonderful,” Holt shared.
