Sloan ended up scratching off a $2 million prize.
NEW YORK (Web Desk) - A woman collected a $2 million prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket just two months after winning $1 million from another game.
Kenya Sloan, 41, of Shelby, told North Carolina Education Lottery officials she was at the Esha Food Mart in Shelby when she decided to try a $20 Diamond Dazzler ticket for the first time.
Sloan ended up scratching off a $2 million prize.
"I was just standing there in shock," Sloan said. "I just feel blessed. That s all I can say."
She said the win was made all the more unbelievable by the fact that she had won a $1 million prize from a Carolina Jackpot scratch-off ticket just two months earlier.
"I told some of my family members and they couldn t believe it either," she said.
Sloan said her first jackpot is currently being used to build a home, and her latest winnings will go toward her dream of opening a restaurant.
