SPRING HOPE, N.C. — A Nash County woman celebrating a $700,000 lottery win, and that isn't even her first jackpot.

57-year-old Judy Marshburn of Spring Hope collected the $700,000 top prize in a new scratch-off game.

In June of 2008, Marshburn won a Cash 5 jackpot of $307,726.

“I doubled my win this time,” Marshburn said. “Next time I’m coming for the million.”

Marshburn bought the $10 Scorching Hot 7s ticket from the Stop & Shop on East Nash Street in Spring Hope.

“I looked at it and I just couldn’t believe it,” Marshburn said. “I’m just very blessed.”

Marshburn claimed the prize Wednesday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.

Marshburn's take home payout after taxes was $497,073.
