INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WANE) - A 91-year-old Indianapolis woman won $99,999 from the Hoosier Lottery Thursday.

This is the second time in less than three months that Lena Eaton, of Indianapolis, has won the lottery.

In August, Eaton won $300,000 in the Hoosier Lottery Quick Draw game. 

Her latest win was from a $5 Scorchin' Hot 9s Scratch-off, which she purchased at Safeway Foods in Indianapolis.

The great-grandmother said she plans to use the money from her most recent win to travel.

I've never been anywhere. I've always enjoyed being close to my family," Eaton said.

Eaton has six surviving children, 16 grandchildren, and more than 20 great-grandchildren.
