Christine Wilson of Attleborough recently won $1 million from a “100X Cash” $10 instant game. But this isn’t Wilson’s first big prize. It isn’t even her first big prize this year.

Just ten weeks ago on Feb. 23, Wilson won another $1 million prize from the “Lifetime Millions” $50 instant ticket game, according to the Massachusetts State Lottery.

Both tickets were purchased in Mansfield. The first ticket was bought at Dubs’s Discount Liquors, the second at Family Food Mart on East Street. The store will receive a $10,000 payout for its sale of this ticket.

In both cases, Wilson chose a one-time payment of $650,000 before taxes. According to the state lottery, Wilson plans to put her winnings into savings.
