Big wins are popping up all across Massachusetts—and Wednesday, April 9 brought a wave of lucky moments for players.

Let’s start with one of the standout hits: a $250,000 winning ticket sold at a gas station in Springfield has officially been claimed. That prize came from the “$250,000 Winter Winnings” scratch-off game, which launched back in October 2025. Even better? There are still 15 more $250,000 prizes out there waiting to be found.

But that wasn’t the only exciting news 👇

  • 💰 $1 million winner claimed a ticket bought at a restaurant on Martha’s Vineyard
  • 💵 $100,000 prize was also claimed from a ticket purchased in Fairhaven
  • 🎉 550+ prizes worth $600 or more were claimed statewide in a single day

Some cities really stood out when it came to big wins:

  • Springfield: 11 winners
  • Worcester: 12 winners
  • Boston: 44 winners

Every day, the Massachusetts State Lottery shares a list of winning tickets worth more than $600, giving players a chance to see where luck is striking next.

And here’s something huge to keep in mind—the biggest prize claimed so far this year hit a massive $25 million. That jackpot came from a “$25,000,000 Mega Money” scratch ticket sold in Turners Falls.

Bottom line: Whether it’s a quick stop at a gas station or grabbing a bite to eat, big wins can happen anywhere—and clearly, they’re happening often.

So if you’ve got a ticket, now’s a good time to double-check it.
