Sloan said she was in shock, she just stood there.

“I was like, ‘No way this happened again,’” Sloan said. “But it did.”

Sloan told family members who shared her shock. She said even though it’s hard to wrap her head around winning twice, she still feels blessed.

Sloan went to the lottery headquarters to claim her winnings on Thursday. She chose the lump-sum amount of $1.2 million, after state and federal taxes Sloan took home $855,006.00.
