Almost everyone who buys lottery tickets goes their entire life without beating the incredible odds

Almost everyone who buys lottery tickets goes their entire life without beating the incredible odds needed to win.

But Christine Wilson scooped up two $1 million jackpots in 10 weeks to be one of the luckiest people in Massachusetts.

Wilson's first win was on the Lifetime Millions $50 instant ticket game, which she bought at Discount Liquors in Mansfield in February.

She opted to receive her prize as a one-off $650,000 payment, before tax, and said she would spend some of it buying an SUV.

Christine Wilson' second win was the 100X Club $10 instant ticket, a scratch game where players must match numbers

Her second win was the 100X Club $10 instant ticket, a scratch game where players must match numbers.

Wilson bought this one from Family Food Mart in Mansfield and again opted to take a $650,000 payment - this time to add to her savings.

The shop where she bought the ticket will also receive a $10,000 prize.

A handful of other lottery players are known to have won two jackpots this year, but they were much smaller amounts.

A man in Michigan won $110,000 in February in a Fantasy 5 Double Play drawing, and the same amount six months earlier.
