Short had her husband Len, pick up an All or Nothing ticket at a Publix grocery store in Cornelius, N.C., and hit it big.

The couple’s luck appears to be holding strong, since three months earlier, Gina and Len won $1 million in the Ultimate Millions second-chance drawing.

“We’re still in disbelief mode,” Short said.

“For us to have the good fortune of winning not just one big prize but two, we are just very thankful for that,” Len admitted.

After she won the million-dollar lottery this year, Short said, “I have a second chance. That’s what my whole life is about, second chances.”
