Morris claimed the first prize in November 2022 and promised Florida Lottery officials she would “be back.”
She returned in January to claim another $1 million prize after she closed on her dream home.
“After closing on my house, I stopped at a Sunoco Foodmart in Clermont, and it happened again. I still can’t believe this is happening,” she said, according to the Florida Lottery.
She chose to receive her winnings in one-time, lump-sum payments of $820,000.
