James Polla claims his $100,000 prize from the Idaho Lottery.

BOISE -- Some people have all the luck!

James "Dan" Polla of Mullan, Idaho, seems to be one of those people after winning his second top prize from the Idaho Lottery in the last four months!

Polla claimed his $100,000 prize today.

The winning ticket was purchased on Sept. 27. Polla put it in his pocket and forgot about it!

Two days later, he found it, scratched it and learned he was $100,000 richer.

Polla's string of luck began in 2004 when he won $1,500 in a scratch game. He later won $15,000 during the live game show at the Northern Idaho Fair in Coeur d'Alene.

And in June of this year, he won $50,000 on another scratch-off ticket.

After taxes, Polla took home $67,200. He plans to pay off bills, save some and take his 10-year-old son to Disneyland for spring break.
