June 1 (UPI) -- A North Carolina woman won a $100,000 prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket less than three years after she won $150,000 from another game.

Williams previously visited lottery headquarters to collect a $150,000 prize from a Holiday Luck X50 scratch-off ticket in November 2020.

Williams did not reveal whether she had any immediate plans for her latest winnings.
