Sometimes, the simplest errands can turn into unforgettable moments—and for one lucky Massachusetts player, a quick stop at a local convenience store turned into a million-dollar dream come true. On Thursday, September 4, the Fabfor Revocable Trust of 2025, based in Quincy and represented by Judith Flynn, struck it big in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s “Fabulous Fortune” scratch ticket game. They claimed the eighth of nine $1 million prizes in the popular game, turning a routine trip into a story worth telling.
The winning ticket was purchased at none other than the 7-Eleven located at 495 Washington Street in Quincy. Not only did the ticket holder walk away with life-changing winnings, but the store itself also got a little bonus for being part of the excitement. Massachusetts Lottery officials confirmed that 7-Eleven will receive $10,000 for selling the lucky scratcher—a nice little windfall for the local spot that suddenly became the center of attention.
Judith Flynn, representing the trust, chose to receive the prize as a one-time cash payment of $650,000 before taxes. While it’s a bit shy of the full $1 million advertised, the lump sum is still more than enough to make some serious dreams a reality. Lottery winners often face choices on how to claim their prize—either as an annuity paid over several years or as a single cash payout—and Flynn’s decision for the latter shows a preference for immediate, flexible access to funds.
“Fabulous Fortune” has been one of the standout scratch ticket games in Massachusetts this year, drawing players from all over the state hoping to hit it big. With nine separate $1 million prizes up for grabs, the odds are more enticing than your standard lottery fare, and this latest win underscores just how quickly a little bit of luck can transform someone’s day—or year. Fans of the game are always on the lookout for new winners, and the recent payout adds to the game’s growing reputation for life-changing prizes.
This win also highlights a fun element of the lottery: the surprise factor. Many players pick tickets on a whim during daily routines—stopping at a 7-Eleven for coffee or a snack—and walk away with far more than they ever expected. For the Fabfor Revocable Trust, a simple visit to their neighborhood 7-Eleven has now become a story of fortune, chance, and excitement. Local news outlets in Quincy quickly reported the prize claim, with neighbors and fellow shoppers expressing delight and curiosity over the big win.
Massachusetts Lottery officials remind everyone that while the jackpot and big prizes are thrilling, responsible play is key. Scratch tickets are quick, easy, and fun, but the odds of winning any grand prize remain slim—making every announcement like this one all the more special. Still, for Judith Flynn and the Fabfor Revocable Trust, the odds lined up perfectly, turning a regular Thursday in early September into a moment of celebration.
The excitement doesn’t just end with the winner. Local businesses, like the 7-Eleven on Washington Street, see a buzz when big tickets are sold, bringing in curious visitors hoping to follow in someone else’s footsteps. And while $650,000 in one go is a game-changer, the ripple effect—community chatter, local attention, and a little bit of lottery magic—spreads far beyond the prize itself.
All in all, this story is a reminder that sometimes fortune favors the bold—or even just the casual 7-Eleven shopper. Whether it’s stopping by for a quick snack or picking up a scratch ticket on a whim, the right ticket at the right time can lead to a truly fabulous fortune. For the Fabfor Revocable Trust, that day has now officially arrived, leaving everyone else with the hope—and perhaps a little bit of envy—that their own next stop at the store could change everything.
