Massachusetts Lottery Winners Claim Million-Dollar Prizes

Why this matters: These wins highlight the life-changing potential of lottery tickets, providing winners with financial freedom and the ability to pursue their dreams. It also benefits the retailers who sold the winning tickets.

Two significant lottery wins have recently been reported in Massachusetts. First, a $1 million winning scratch ticket was sold at Cedarville Wine & Spirits in Plymouth. The prize was claimed by Baker Law Group as a one-time payment of $650,000 before taxes. The store received a $10,000 bonus for selling the ticket.

In a separate event, William Darden of Boston won $4 million from the Massachusetts State Lottery’s “$4,000,000 Monopoly Doubler” game. Darden chose the annuity option, receiving $200,000 annually for 20 years. He plans to use his winnings to buy a dog and a car, and travel to Europe. Winners Corner in North Andover, where he purchased the ticket, will also receive a $40,000 bonus.

These wins illustrate the varied impacts of lottery winnings, from providing immediate financial relief to enabling long-term plans and dreams.

The winning tickets were from the "$2,000,000 50X Cashword" and "$4,000,000 Monopoly Doubler" instant ticket games.

One winning ticket was sold at Cedarville Wine & Spirits in Plymouth, and another at Winners Corner in North Andover.

One winner plans to buy a car and travel to Europe, while the other win was claimed by a trust.
