Never, until now. Unless I'm reading it wrong, that's exactly what he did, and has done for years.
Maybe he's forgetful. Maybe he accidentally bought two tickets with the same numbers for the same draw many years ago and won $100 on each ticket, and decided that was his lucky thing. Who knows.
The only way this was any more unlikely than winning it once would be if he bought two different sets of Quick Pick tickets, and ended up with the same set of numbers on each ticket, and that set of numbers ended up being the winner. That would be overcoming astronomical odds.
