One Ontario lottery winner has cashed in on good luck after winning thousands of dollars twice in a few years.

Joan Copeland, a 77-year-old grandma from Markham, recently won a whopping $100,000 while playing INSTANT BINGO DOUBLER and it was hardly her first rodeo.

"I won $50,000 a few years back!" she also revealed to OLG in a press release.

As if that wasn't adorable enough, Copeland also revealed that she didn't even know how much she'd won at first. "I took it to the store and the clerk had to tell me I won big," she added.

The grandma plans to share her winnings with her family and save the rest.
