Congratulations! Luck seems to be in the air this season as a lottery player has won a $1 million for the second time in the same shop, People reported.

Constance Carpenito got lucky for the second time when she won the $1 million at the same Stop & Shop. Carpenito had previously won the same amount in 1996 - 19 years earlier in Stoneham, Massachusetts. What is even more amazing is the fact that this is her third win as she also won a good sum of $20,000 before. Coincidence?

According to CNN, Carpenito was playing a $20 instant game called $10,000,000 Diamond Millionaire. The lottery player is said to bet $20 every week.

The chances of winning the jackpot is 1 in 693,000. In 1996, Constance's chances of winning were 1 in 3,780,000.

In another report, when Constance was asked why she keeps winning the lottery, her response was simple.

"I'm lucky, what can I say? You've got to be lucky to win a million twice," Constance said as cited by AOL.

Constance also told the Boston Herald that she has been playing the lottery since she won a million dollars in 1996.

"Ever since I hit the million I've been playing at my lucky store once a week and it's really paid off. Every week I play my $20."

Massachusetts Lottery spokesman Christian Teja told the CNN that Constance plans on spending the money to make Christmas special for her family.

"She plans on using her winnings to make this Christmas an especially good one for her family," Teja said.
