Although that was an extraordinary bit of luck in its own right, what is genuinely mind-boggling is that Dib won another $10,000 off a 30X Cash 8th Edition ticket last August. Dib began her streak in January, when she scored $20,000 after cashing in a 20X Cash 5th Edition ticket from FM One Stop shop in Monroe.
