A Massachusetts woman has won two, $1 million grand lottery prizes in less than three months, and this time, she plans on depositing her winnings into savings.

A lucky lottery winner has hit not only one $1 million grand prize, but two in less than three months.

This time around, Wilson won big again after she played the "100X Cash" $10 instant ticket game.

Her first million-dollar winnings went towards a new SUV. As for her latest win, Wilson reportedly plans to deposit the funds into her savings.

The "100X Cash" winning ticket was purchased from the Family Food Mart located at 660 East St. in Mansfield, the Massachusetts Lottery reported.
