MILO, Maine — Karen Meservey says “it was just like someone pushed the air right out of me” when she saw she won $500,000 in a Maine lottery game.
But that’s just part of the story. The night before, the 53-year-old Milo woman won $2,000 at bingo.
The Bangor Daily News says Meservey’s hot streak began last Thursday night, when she bagged $2,000 in bingo winnings at the Eagles Club in Brewer. The next night, she won $500,000 after buying a $20 instant game ticket at a gas station and convenience store Milo.
Meservey told the News on Tuesday that buying a Mega Multiplier ticket is a luxury she usually can’t afford.
After a sleepless weekend, Meservey returned to the store on Monday to confirm that she actually held a winning ticket.
