Million dollar luck strikes twice for North Carolina woman

DURHAM, NC (WWAY) — A North Carolina woman seems to have a knack for winning lottery scratch-off games.

The North Carolina Education Lottery says in a news release that Linda Tate of Durham won a $1 million prize last week after playing the $10,000,000 Colossal Cash scratch-off game.

In August 2018, Tate won $4 million after playing Millionaire Bucks.

After required state and federal taxes were withheld, Tate took home $424,509 for her latest triumph.

The $10,000,000 Colossal Cash game started in August 2018 with four top prizes of $10 million and 21 $1 million prizes. Two $10 million prizes remain to be won.
