Aug. 6 (UPI) -- A North Carolina woman scored a $2 million top prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket just over a month after winning $250,000 from a second chance drawing.
The North Carolina Education Lottery said Willow Spring resident Jennifer Kleinendorst stopped at the Hill Top store on North Main Street in Fuquay-Varina and bought a $20 100X The Cash scratch-off ticket.
The ticket earned her a $250,000 prize.
Kleinendorst previously visited lottery headquarters when she scored a $250,000 grand prize in the 2025 Multiply The Cash Second Chance drawing in June.
Kleinendorst chose to take her latest winnings as a $1.2 million lump sum, and went home with $861,006 after required tax withholdings.
