AGS NEWS – Christine Wilson from Attleboro, Massachusetts, has achieved a rare feat by winning the lottery not once, but twice within a short span of 10 weeks.

The Massachusetts State Lottery disclosed this remarkable news on Wednesday, May 1.

Wilson’s recent stroke of luck came in the form of a $1 million jackpot from the 100X Cash $10 instant ticket game.

This win followed closely on the heels of her first $1 million prize, which she claimed back in February after playing the Lifetime Millions $50 instant ticket game.

When Wilson initially won her first prize, she expressed plans to purchase an SUV with some of the money. Now, with her second windfall, she intends to bolster her savings.

Like her previous win, Wilson opted for the cash payout option, receiving $650,000 before taxes.

The Family Food Mart, where she purchased the winning ticket, will be rewarded with a $10,000 bonus.

Wilson’s remarkable double win places her among a select group of individuals who have struck gold in the lottery twice within a year.
