In just 2 days, 2 winning lottery tickets bought at Carroll County store
According to a release from the Iowa Lottery, within two days of each other, both tickets were bought at the Casey's in Manning, Iowa.
Winning Lucky for Life ticket purchased in Denison
The first ticket, purchased by Xenia Valladares of Deloit, was a '$100,000 Mega Crossword' scratch ticket that was purchased on Monday. A day later, Judy Ambrose of Dunlap claimed a $25,000 prize from the 'Mega Bucks' scratch ticket.
The lottery said that back-to-back wins such as these are coincidental, and they are unsure when winning tickets will turn up.

$5 lottery ticket turns into ‘shocking' win for North Carolina woman. ‘Pinch me'
A woman spent $5 on a lottery ticket — and scored a prize worth celebrating. 'I was like, 'Pinch me,'' winner Sibyl Ackin told the North Carolina Education Lottery in an Aug. 12 news release. 'It was shocking.' Ackin was in disbelief when she learned she won $200,000. She couldn't wait to tell people she was getting richer. 'I told everybody,' the lucky winner said. 'I called my aunt first.' Ackin won big after stopping Sunday, Aug. 10, at a Circle K convenience store in Fayetteville, a roughly 65-mile drive south from Raleigh. While there, she tried her luck on a ticket for the Mega Bucks scratch-off game. It turns out, the ticket beat 1-in-1.2 million odds to score a top prize in the game. Though Ackin was skeptical at first, she has warmed up to her win. 'Now it feels real,' Ackin told lottery officials after she claimed her prize. The lucky winner, who lives in Fayetteville, kept $143,501 after taxes. She hopes to donate to her church and go on a family vacation to Florida. Four jackpots still remain in the game as of Aug. 12. It's not the first time a lottery player has rushed to share their good news. Another North Carolina winner jumped on a video call and told her kids she won millions, McClatchy News reported in July.
