Massachusetts Lottery Player Scores $4 Million Prize with Scratch Ticket Bought in Lee

A lucky Massachusetts Lottery player is celebrating a $4 million win after buying a winning scratch ticket at a local business in Lee.

The winning ticket came from the Massachusetts State Lottery's "100X" instant scratch game. On July, Joey's Nominee Trust of Pittsfield officially claimed the prize. The trust, represented by John Martin, collected the winnings on behalf of the lucky ticket holder.

Instead of receiving annual payments, the winner chose the one-time cash option, taking home $2.6 million before taxes.

The lucky ticket was sold at Bucky's Tavern in Lee. As a reward for selling the winning ticket, the retailer will receive a $40,000 bonus from the Massachusetts State Lottery.

It's another exciting reminder that a single scratch ticket can turn an ordinary day into a life-changing moment.
