Man wins again, sort of

BUCHAREST, Romania - A man who serves time for claiming he was robbed of a winning lottery ticket has hit the jackpot - for real. Stancu Ogica, who said he had a $1 million lottery ticket in 2001 but was robbed of it, won $34,500 recently in another drawing. Ogica served three years in prison for attempted fraud after another man came forward with the original ticket for $1 million. Ogica said he passed a polygraph to back his story and claimed to have witnesses, but he lost the case. His history of insurance fraud and financial troubles made police skeptical of his story at the time. He has not forgotten about the original ticket and has asked the government to reopen his case.
