She’s won a total of $1.25 million.
A breast cancer patient in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina is having a well-deserved string of luck. The state's lottery agency announced on Wednesday that Gina Short had won the lottery — again.

Short beat one in 2.7 million odds to win the top $250,000 All or Nothing Prize on April 29.
"We're still in disbelief mode," Short said according to a statement from the North Carolina Education Lottery.
Short was a regular player of the All or Nothing lottery, but hadn't played in a long time. She asked her husband a few weeks ago to buy a $2 ticket at a Publix super market because "she had a feeling the game was going to be lucky," according to the lottery office's statement.
After federal and state tax withholdings, she received $173,125 from the $250,000 prize.
Short fell to the floor in shock when she found out she won the grand prize for the state's Ultimate Millions second-chance drawing.
Her entry was drawn from more than 1.2 million entries.
She chose a lump sum payment which, after federal and state taxes, amounted to $415,500.
