Sept. 24 (UPI) -- A Nebraska man won a $120,000 lottery prize just two months after his son scored $100,000 from a scratch-off ticket.

The Nebraska Lottery said Grand Island resident Douglas Dahl bought a ticket with five plays for Sunday's Nebraska Pick 5 drawing from the Fat Dogs Truck Stop on Platte Road in Grand Island.

One of Dahl's plays matched the drawing's numbers: 13-22-29-31-36. He earned a $120,000 prize.

"It's about time," Dahl said.

Dahl's son previously won $100,000 from a scratch-off ticket he purchased in July.

Dahl said he doesn't plan to stop playing Nebraska Pick 5 anytime soon.

"I already got my tickets for tonight," he said.
