A lucky Brooklyn man went on a joyride in a pricey, brand-spanking-new silver Range Rover on Friday morning after having just won $10 million in the lottery — again.

Wayne Murray, 63, was spotted leaving his $800,000 East Flatbush home in the luxury top-of-the-line wheels after scoring $10 million on a scratch-off ticket this week — and having previously won $10 million playing the New York Lottery just a little over a year ago.

Murray, whose home rings in at $815,400 on Zillow, drove off in a 2024 Range Rover SV, which start at $209,000 and can top over $234,000, according to the Range Rover website.

On Thursday, Murray told The Post he didn’t want attention over his two mega-lucrative windfalls, saying: “Some of us just like to be discreet.”

The charmed man won both times from $30 tickets he bought at H&A Gas and Convenience on Avenue H in Flatbush, Brooklyn.

The first time that Murray hit it big was while playing Black Titanium. Then Tuesday, he got the top prize on the 200X scratch-off game. Both times, he took the lump sum of $6 million each after taxes, according to lottery officials.

“Twice in a row — what are the odds? You can’t even think about it. It’s not comprehensible,” H&A store clerk Hassan Nabil told The Post on Thursday.

Murray is a regular at the convenience store, and “he’s a super regular guy,” the worker said.

Nabil said Murray hasn’t changed since winning and that he keeps playing the lottery because he seems to enjoy it.

“He could have moved out of the neighborhood after winning the first time, but he stood his ground,” Nabil said. “Money changes a lot of people, but he doesn’t show off or anything. He keeps it real, keeps it honest.”

Murray lives in an unassuming three-story, semi-attached brick home where he’s lived most of his life, according to his neighbors.

And he’s so down to earth that Constance Bryane — whose home is attached to Murray’s — didn’t even know about his incredibly good fortunes.

“I had no idea. He’s very humble that way,” she told The Post on Thursday. “I’m going to have to congratulate him the next time I see him.”
