An Arlington statistician just won a $1 million prize from the Massachusetts State Lottery — for the second time.

Steven Felsher won his first million in July 2016, according to a release. He purchased both of his winning tickets at Broadway Market in Arlington, which receives $10,000 each time it sells a $1 million winning ticket.

Just like last time he won, Felsher has opted to take a one-time payment of $650,000 before taxes.

He plans to go on a vacation with his family as well as buy a new camera and new phones for him and his wife, Paula, the release said.
