There’s a saying that, “lightning doesn’t strike twice,” but what about luck?
A Massachusetts woman won $1 million on two scratch-off ticket games approximately 10 weeks apart. Christine Wilson, a resident of Attleborough, about 40 miles south of Boston, claimed her second $1 million prize on Wednesday, the Massachusetts Lottery said in a press release.
Wilson purchased a $10 100X Cash ticket at a Family Food Mart in Mansfield. The convenience store received $10,000 after she won the lucky ticket.
But this wasn’t the Attleborough resident’s first trip to the Massachusetts Lottery Headquarters.
On Feb. 23, Wilson was the first $1 million prize winner on the $50 Lifetime Millions instant ticket game, the lottery said.

Wilson purchased this ticket at Dubs’s Discount Liquors in Mansfield and the package store receive a $10,000 bonus.
