Both cases occurred in the same state with a difference of 3 weeks. For the second time, a resident of North Carolina becomes the winner of two lotteries in one day. First, Kimberly Morris from this state received more than a million dollars, winning in two lotteries at once. Now Michelle Schaffler of Granite Falls has become the owner of not so large, but also an impressive amount of money under similar circumstances, writes US News.
First, Michelle won 10 thousand dollars by buying a lottery scratch ticket, and then, through 22 miles from the place of purchase, another purchased ticket brought her 1 a million dollars. Shuffler and her husband claim that they did not usually play the lottery, it’s just that the spouse had some cash in his pocket, and he decided to give it a try. When they saw the lottery winnings Million Dollar Fever, which amounted to 10 thousand, could not believe it for a long time. “I still can't,” says Michelle.
In the wake of good luck the couple bought another ticket-scratch of the same lottery that same evening. This time the winnings surpassed all possible expectations. Both wins the woman received in the company's office in Raleigh. The millionth prize could be obtained in one of two ways - 20 payments on 50 thousand per year or one amount in 600 thousand dollars without deducting taxes. Michelle chose annual payments and received her first 50 thousand, after paying taxes the sum was 34 753 dollars. She will receive payments every year for 19 years. Schaffler plans to save money on retirement benefits and college tuition.
Kimberly Morris, the previous winner, won exactly the same amount - 10 thousand dollars with one ticket and a million with another, in one day, in the lottery Diamond Dazzler. Morris chose a one-time payment of 600 thousand, and received around 417 thousand dollars after paying taxes and fees.
