Donna Goeppert has defied all odds against her - taking home the lotto jackpot, not once, but twice - in the same year.
Goeppert, a Pennsylvania resident, won $1 million playing a Pennsylvania Lottery scratch-off ticket earlier this year. She tried again, and won another million dollar prize.
Lottery officials confirmed that she filed a claim for the jackpot, which will take four to six weeks to verify.
Goeppert, 55, said it is "just unbelievable." She filed her claim Friday at lottery headquarters, asking, "What are the odds of that?"
Goeppert's winning tickets both came in the lottery's $1 million Blockbuster game. Goeppert purchased the most recent winning ticket from Lump's Deli in Bethlehem for $20.
An Associated Press report calculates the odds of being a double lotto winner at an estimated 419 million-to-1.
