Massachusetts' Biggest Lottery Win This Year
The $500,000 prize is a major payday, but it isn't the state's biggest lottery win of the year. That distinction belongs to a $29.71 million Megabucks prize from a ticket sold at King Mart in Holyoke.
With 30 top prizes still available in the "$500,000 Frenzy" game, Massachusetts scratch-off players still have a chance to land a life-changing payday.
