Rosa Dominguez hit two California Lottery jackpots, winning more than $655,000.

What are the odds of winning the lottery twice? How about twice in one week?

Whatever they are, Rosa Dominguez beat them.

The 19-year-old hit two California Lottery jackpots, winning more than $655,000.

Dominguez first bought a $5 "Power Five" ticket near the coast, scoring over half a million dollars with the scratch-off.

Then, a few days later, she figured why not try her luck again?

The second time, she turned her $5 into $100,000.

Dominguez plans to buy a new car and do some, according to the folks at the California Lottery.
