A lucky woman in Massachusetts has won the lottery for the second time in 10 weeks.

Christine Wilson won a $1 million prize on a Massachusetts State Lottery instant ticket, just as she did on Feb. 23.

Wilson’s most recent winnings came from a 100X Cash $10 instant ticket game. In February, she won on a Lifetime Millions $50 instant ticket, which she opted to receive as a one-time payment of $650,000 before taxes.

In February, Wilson said she would put some of her winnings toward an SUV. With her new vehicle already purchased, this time around Wilson says she will put her prize money into savings.

The first time she won, Wilson purchased her ticket at Dubs’s Discount Liquors in Mansfield, Massachusetts.

This time, Wilson bought her ticket from Family Food Mart in the same town. Both businesses will receive a $10,000 bonus for the ticket sale.
