GREAT BEND, N.Y. (AP) - Two Army reservists are instant millionaires.

New York State lottery officials say two jackpots of a million dollars each have been won in the Fort Drum area. The lottery says the coincidence is unprecedented.

One winning scratch-off ticket was bought by Wendy and Donald Childers. He's a reservist who returned from a year in Iraq last November.

The other winning ticket was bought by Stacy James. She's an inactive reservist, whose husband is currently serving in Iraq.

Both couples have three children and say they plan to invest part of their winnings.
