Lynn Woman Wins Second $1 Million Lottery Prize In 7 Months
LYNN (CBS) -- A Lynn woman has hit it big once again after winning her second $1 million lottery prize in the past seven months, according to the Massachusetts State Lottery.
Jane Hoyt won the prize playing the "1,000,000 Holiday Bonus" instant game after buying the ticket from Debro Liquors on Eastern Avenue in Lynn. The store will receive $10,000 for selling the winning ticket.
She claimed her first $1 million prize on June 10, 2015 after buying a $30 "World Class Millions" instant game ticket from the Shaw's on Andover Street in Peabody.
Hoyt has received two separate one-time payments of $650,000, less taxes. She plans to use the winnings toward her recent retirement.
Lottery officials say two more $1 million prizes remain in the "1,000,000 Holiday Bonus" instant game.
