She knows how to pick a winner.
Kimberly Morris of Wake Forest scratched off two North Carolina lottery tickets on Monday, winning $1 million on one of the tickets and $10,000 with another, local media report.
Morris thought things were going well when she bought a ticket at a grocery store Monday afternoon and scratched off the $10,000 prize. She went to the lottery headquarters in Raleigh to claim her prize.
On the way home, she stopped and bought another ticket, and bingo! It was worth $1 million.
"I wasn't really expecting much," Morris told her state lottery. "I just enjoy playing the lottery."
She chose to take the lump sum on the $1 million ticket, which was worth $417,012 after taxes.
