Luck seems to have a favorite in Virginia. Sharon Godsey from Concord has pulled off the seemingly impossible by winning a $100,000 (Rs28 million) lottery prize for the second time in her life—twelve years after her first major windfall.
Godsey recently hit the jackpot in the March 31 Powerball drawing, where her ticket matched four of the five white balls and the Powerball. Thanks to her decision to include the Power Play feature, her prize doubled from $50,000 to $100,000 when the 2X multiplier came into play.

In 2013, Godsey had already experienced a stroke of fortune by winning the same amount from a Sapphire Riches scratch-off ticket. This latest win came from a ticket purchased at Carson Market in her hometown, which now holds a special place in her personal history of lottery luck.
With odds of 1 in over 900,000 for her winning combination, Godsey’s story adds to the rare but inspiring tales of repeat lottery winners. While she hasn’t revealed any plans for the prize, her story serves as a reminder that lightning really can strike twice.
