A lucky lottery fan who went to collect a $500 prize walked away with a second prize worth $25,000 after an astonishing run of luck.
Bradley Sprout, from Davenport, Iowa, had taken his winning scratchcard to the Hy-Vee grocery store he had bought it from to collect the modest win.
But the 51-year-old decided to invest some of the cash into more tickets and scooped a $25,000 (GBP 20,143) prize.
