A two-time lucky lottery winner said his good fortune is the result of a “feeling.”

Michael McCray, 37, won the $2.5 million top prize from the instant game Millionaire Jumbo Bucks.

The big win came just one day after winning $1,000 from the Georgia lottery.

“I just had that feeling,” he said.

McCray, who purchased the ticket at Double D Fast Food in Americus, scratched the ticket in the store.

“I had to catch my breath,” he said. “Now, I’m just great.”

He plans to purchase a Ford Mustang with some of the winnings.

“It’s a way to treat myself,” shared the self-professed ‘Mustang Man.' “I’m very lucky.”
