A Massachusetts woman has won $1 million twice on lottery tickets in the last 10 weeks. The state lottery says Christine Wilson, of Attleborough, won the most recent prize on Wednesday playing the “100X Cash” $10 instant ticket game. The lottery says Wilson decided to receive the winnings in a one-time payment of $650,000 before taxes, which she plans to put into savings. She claimed her first prize the same way in February. She bought her latest winning ticket at Family Food Mart in Mansfield, Massachusetts.
One of the winners of a $1.3 billion Powerball jackpot this month is an immigrant from Laos who has had cancer for eight years and had his latest chemotherapy treatment last week. Cheng “Charlie” Saephan told a news conference held by the Oregon Lottery on Monday that he and his wife would take half the money, and the other half would go to a friend who chipped in $100 to buy a batch of tickets with them. Saephan said he'd buy a house and find a good doctor for himself. Saephan said he was born in Laos and moved to Thailand in 1987, before immigrating to the U.S. in 1994.
