Massachusetts is celebrating a massive lottery win this week after a lucky player claimed a $15 million prize on Tuesday. The winning ticket, part of the “$15,000,000 Colossal Millions” scratch game, was sold at Lanpher’s Market in Sterling. This scratch ticket game, which debuted in April, still has two more $15 million grand prizes up for grabs, making this win an especially exciting milestone for players statewide.
This $15 million jackpot marks the second-largest prize claimed in Massachusetts so far this year. Earlier in 2025, two other $15 million prizes were scooped up: one from a “300X” ticket sold in Falmouth, and another from a “Diamond Deluxe” ticket in Holyoke. But the largest lottery prize of the year remains a remarkable $1 million a year for life, won from a “Lifetime Millions” ticket sold in Springfield. Talk about a life-changing sweep!
The excitement didn’t stop with the Colossal Millions win. Tuesday also saw three other lucky players each hit $100,000 prizes. Two of these came from the evening “Mass Cash” drawing, which had the winning numbers 17, 20, 21, 24, and 31. One of the winning tickets was purchased at Market Basket in Haverhill, while the other came from Busa Wine & Spirits in Lexington. The third $100,000 prize went to a player with a “$100,000 Max Winnings” ticket bought at Big Bunny Market in Southbridge.
Beyond these headline-grabbing wins, Massachusetts saw at least 435 prizes of $600 or more claimed across the state on Tuesday alone. Boston led the charge with 48 winners, followed by Springfield with 11 and Worcester with six. The Massachusetts State Lottery provides daily updates, listing all winning tickets over $600, so eager players can check their luck regularly.
It’s worth noting that the Colossal Millions scratch game is proving to be a major draw. Not only does it offer multiple chances to win huge prizes, but the thrill of scratching off a $30 ticket for a potential $15 million keeps players coming back. Meanwhile, scratch tickets like “Lifetime Millions” and “Diamond Deluxe” continue to deliver life-altering rewards, showing there’s something for every type of lottery enthusiast in Massachusetts.
With the summer and fall months bringing in more lottery excitement, residents are reminded to double-check their tickets and savor the fun of playing. Every ticket sold holds the potential for a big payday—whether it’s a $100,000 prize from Mass Cash or the colossal $15 million jackpot from Colossal Millions.
In summary, Massachusetts has already seen an eventful year in lottery wins. From $1 million-a-year-for-life jackpots to multiple $15 million claims, and hundreds of $600+ prizes, the state’s lottery players are in for a thrilling ride. And with a few grand prizes still up for grabs in scratch games, the next big win could be just around the corner. Sterling’s latest winner is living proof: sometimes, fortune really does favor the bold (or the lucky).
