$100K Lottery Winner Won Another $300K The Same Day

A 70-year-old Delaware woman said she used some of the winnings from one lottery ticket to buy another for an even bigger win.

They say lightning never strikes the same place twice. But apparently, the lottery does.

A 70-year-old Delaware woman had a really lucky day Oct. 20 when she visited Lottery Headquarters to cash in one lottery ticket that she had purchased a week previously, then used some of that money to buy a few more tickets for an even bigger win.

The woman, who declined to be identified, told lottery officials that she first won $100,000 off a Delaware Lottery scratch ticket. She picked up her prize from lottery headquarters and, just for fun, used a few of those winning bucks to buy three more scratch tickets on the way home.
