A woman from Massachusetts has won the lottery twice this year, claiming prizes of $1 million each time just 10 weeks apart.
Christine Wilson of Attleborough won her first prize in February from a $50 “Lifetime Millions” instant ticket bought in Mansfield.
She opted to receive $650,000 before taxes, using some of the money to buy an SUV.
Then in May, she won again from a $10 “100X Cash” instant ticket purchased at a Mansfield store.
This store will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
Wilson says she will save her second prize money. Her double wins mark an unusually lucky streak within a short period of time.
