A lottery player won $500 — then scored an even bigger prize in North Carolina. “Go big or go home,” James Vandling told the N.C. Education Lottery after he tried his luck on a second ticket that was worth $1 million. Now Vandling, a grandfather from Alamance County, is planning for a “dream vacation.”

A woman turned $20 into $10 million after buying a lottery ticket in Florida. The Florida Lottery announced on Monday that Jessica Callihan from Foley, Alabama, claimed the $10 million top prize from the $20 Gold Rush Legacy scratch-off game.
