Luck smiles twice.. a woman wins 250 thousand dollars and then 200 thousand from the same store

Luck smiled for the second time on a woman from Southern California, who won twice from the same store two big prizes totaling almost half a million dollars.

The woman won the $250,000 jackpot in 2020, followed by a second stroke of luck by winning the $200,000 jackpot this month on a ticket purchased at the same store.

The South Carolina Education Lottery Foundation reported that the woman who lives in Midland bought a scratch-off ticket from the Spring Valley Convenience Store in Columbia last week and took home a $200,000 prize.

The woman, whose name has not been released, said that in 2020, she had bought the first winning ticket from the same store and had even been with the same people both times.

"I was very happy with the first win and enjoyed every part of it," she said in a brief statement.

As for the second win, "This time I'm going to buy a house."
