5th time is a charm: Nantucket woman a millionaire after visiting the luckiest place in the world

A small eatery on a wealthy Massachusetts island is gaining national attention after producing yet another millionaire. Old South Diner has now sold its fifth lottery ticket worth $1 million or more in just two years, and this time, a local woman is celebrating the life-changing win.
