A woman has won a $1m prize on the lottery for the second time in 10 weeks.
Massachusetts State Lottery revealed Christine Wilson was the lucky ticketholder who hit the jackpot twice.
Ms Wilson, of Attleborough, Massachusetts, won her most recent prize playing the “100X Cash” $10 instant ticket game.
Back in February, she claimed the first $1m (£796,000) prize in the “Lifetime Millions” $50 (£40) instant ticket game.
On both occasions, she opted to receive her prize in the form of a one-time payment of $650,000 (£518,000).
When she won her first prize, Ms Wilson said that she planned to use some of her winnings to buy a new car.
