April 15 (UPI) -- Judy Marshburn of Spring Hope, N.C., has netted her second lottery win after getting the top prize of $700,00 from a scratch-off ticket.

Marshburn purchased the winning $10 Scorching Hot 7s ticket from a Stop N Shop in Spring Hope.

The 57-year-old had previously won a Cash 5 jackpot of $307,726 in 2008.

"I doubled my win this time. Next time I'm coming for the million," she told lottery officials.

"I looked at it and I just couldn't believe it. I'm just very blessed," she said about discovering that she had won for a second time in her life.

Marshburn did not state what she will do with the winnings. Marshburn, after federal and state withholdings, earned $497,073 from the winning ticket.
