She knows how to pick a winner.
 
Local media report that Kimberly Morris of Wake Forest scratched off two North Carolina lottery tickets on Monday, winning $1 million on one of the tickets and $10,000 with another.
 
Morris thought things were going well when she bought a ticket at a grocery store Monday afternoon and scratched off the $10,000 prize. She went to the lottery headquarters in Raleigh to claim her prize.
 
On the way home, she stopped and bought another ticket, and bingo! It was worth $1 million.
 
She chose to take the lump sum on the $1 million ticket, which was worth $417,012 after taxes.
