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.

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