Woman wins S$1.3M lottery jackpot for second time in 10 weeks

Winning a lottery jackpot is like unlocking a rare achievement in the world of luck for many lottery buyers.

But winning two jackpots in 10 weeks is a spectacular stroke of luck that defies the odds. A woman from Massachusetts, United States did just that.

Christine Wilson scooped up two US$1 million (S$1. 3 million) lottery jackpots within the span of 10 weeks, according to Sky News.

Gaining the lump sum of payments, she planned to buy a new car with her first prize and put the second prize into savings.

Ms Wilson claimed her first US$1 million (S$1.3 million) prize from the “Lifetime Millions” $50 instant ticket game back in February, which she bought at Discount Liquors in Mansfield.

Within 10 weeks, she won another US$1 million (S$1.3 million) jackpot by playing the “100X Cash” $10 instant ticket game, a scratch game where players must match numbers.

She chose to take the lump sum payment of US$650,000 (S$878,000) on both prizes.

As reported by Daily Mail, Ms Wilson expressed that she would spend some of her 1st prize on buying an SUV and put her 2nd prize into savings.
