The Indiana man won the $1 million jackpot in August. He used the money to buy a home, pay off some bills, take a vacation and buy his dad a truck.
In July he miraculously won again. He called it the "the icing on the cake."
Hamilton plans to keep on working at his commercial trash-hauling company. The only thing he wants to purchase this time around is a motorcycle. Other than that he and his wife, Donna, don't plan on changing their lifestyle.

When Anderson Silva suffered a horrific leg break at UFC 168 while throwing a kick in a rematch against Chris Weidman on December 28, 2013, it appeared to be the end of his career.
Not only is Silva coming back to the sport he once dominated, he's doing so in dramatic fashion by taking on Nick Diaz at UFC 183 in Las Vegas
UFC president Dana White announced the match up Tuesday, July 29, on SportsCenter.
"The greatest of all time, Anderson Silva, is back," White said. "Also back is Nick Diaz. So we have made Anderson Silva-Nick Diaz on Jan. 31 in Las Vegas. It will be the main event, and it will be five rounds."
The fight will he held at middleweight limit of 185 pounds. Silva dominated the division for seven consecutive years until he was knocked out by Weidman at UFC 162 on July 6, 2013.
The Brazilian fighter is a master at Muay Thai, with a record of 33-6.
Diaz, a native of Stockton, California, is also making a comeback. He just signed a new 3-fight contract with the UFC following a hiatus from the sport following a loss to Georges St-Pierre in a welterweight title fight at UFC 158 on March 16, 2013.
He's one of the most exciting fighters in the sport, equally skilled on the ground and stand up. Diaz is a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt.
"Nick Diaz is a very popular fighter as it is," White said. "If he comes back and beats Anderson Silva, he could fight for the title. He's right there."
Diaz has a record of 26-9.
This fight should be epic. Who do you think will win?
NEW YORK (Associated Press) — ESPN has suspended outspoken sportscaster Stephen A. Smith for a week because of his comments about domestic abuse suggesting women should make sure that they don't do anything to provoke an attack.
Smith's commentary occurred during a discussion on ESPN2's "First Take" last Friday about the NFL's two-game suspension of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice following charges he assaulted his now-wife. The remarks attracted widespread attention, including a stinging rebuke online from a fellow ESPN personality.
Smith issued an on-air apology Monday, saying it was the most egregious mistake of his career.
A day later, ESPN took action. The network's chief executive, John Skipper, told ESPN's staff in a memo it was done after a "thoughtful discussion" about appropriate actions with men and women in his company.
"I believe his apology was sincere and that he and we have learned from what we've collectively experienced," Skipper said.
Smith will not appear on "First Take" or ESPN radio until Aug. 6, the network said.
During the Rice discussion, Smith alluded to women in abuse cases when he said, "Let's make sure we don't do anything to provoke wrong action ... we got to also make sure that you can do your part to do whatever you can do to make, to try to make sure it doesn't happen again."

Shortly after Smith's remarks, colleague Michelle Beadle responded on Twitter that "I was just forced to watch this morning's First Take. A) I'll never feel clean again B) I'm not aware that I can provoke my own beating."

Beadle, host of ESPN2's "SportsNation," continued with a series of tweets. She said that "Violence isn't the victim's issue. It's the abuser's. To insinuate otherwise is irresponsible and disgusting."
I'm thinking about wearing a miniskirt this weekend...I'd hate to think what I'd be asking for by doing so @stephenasmith. #dontprovoke
Smith, during his apology, said it wasn't his intention to say that women could be responsible for their own abuse. "It was not what I was trying to say," he said. "Yet the failure to clearly articulate something different lies squarely on my shoulder."
Smith didn't explain the point that he was trying to make.
ESPN frowns upon its personalities attacking each other on social media or other forums. But it did not announce any punishment for Beadle.
