Already the winner of a Cash 5 jackpot, Judy Marshburn of Spring Hope found herself back in the winner’s circle Wednesday, this time collecting the first $700,000 top prize in a new scratch-off game.
Marshburn previously won a Cash 5 jackpot of $307,726 in June of 2008.
“I doubled my win this time,” Marshburn said. “Next time I’m coming for the million.”
Marshburn, 57, bought her lucky $10 Scorching Hot 7s ticket from the Stop N Shop on East Nash Street in Spring Hope.
“I looked at it and I just couldn’t believe it,” Marshburn said. “I’m just very blessed.”
Marshburn claimed her prize Wednesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh and, after required federal and state withholdings, took home $497,073.
The Scorching Hot 7s game debuted this month with four top prizes of $700,000. Three $700,000 prizes remain to be claimed.
