A Massachusetts woman is celebrating a life-changing lottery win after landing a $1 million prize from a scratch ticket — and she already knows exactly how she wants to use the money.
Dawn Varley, a resident of Whitman, scored the big win while playing the “$4,000,000 Cash Doubler” scratch game. The $10 ticket first hit stores in February, and it turned into an unforgettable moment for her.
Instead of taking yearly payments, Varley chose the lump-sum cash option when she claimed her prize last week. She walked away with $650,000 before taxes in a one-time payout.
Here’s what makes the story even sweeter:
- 💰 The winning ticket was purchased right in her hometown
- 🏡 Varley says she plans to buy her family home with the winnings
- 🎉 The local store that sold the ticket also gets rewarded
The lucky ticket was sold at Little Comfort General Store on Washington Street in Whitman. Because the shop sold the jackpot-winning ticket, it will receive a $10,000 bonus from the lottery.
