PIERCE COUNTY - A civilian employee of the Department of Defense got back home from Iraq last Friday. John Hooker told KOMO 4 News he felt happy just to get home safe and sound.

Saturday he found out just how lucky he was.

Hooker was with the Stryker Brigade as a mechanic. When he got home the next day, he went grocery shopping and bought $12 worth of tickets, including one Lucky for Life. [...]

He got a winner. He says he cashed it, "the next day, the very next day."

The reason: Among the 21 chances on a Lucky for Life ticket, he had two winners. One for $2. The other for $20,000.

Congratulations!
