A Worcester lottery player just locked in a life-changing win on Monday, scoring $25,000 a year for life — and the lucky ticket came from the Shaw’s grocery store right in town.
What makes this even more exciting?
The prize came from the “Lucky for Life” drawing, a game that’s actually wrapping up at the start of 2026. So this win hit just in time.
The winning numbers from the Monday draw were 11, 14, 28, 30, 41, with the Lucky Ball: 11.
The ticket from Shaw’s matched all five main numbers — just not the Lucky Ball — which is still enough to grab the $25K-a-year-for-life prize.
And there’s more shaking up the lottery world. When “Lucky for Life” ends, it’s being replaced by a brand-new $5 game called “Millionaire for Life.”
A few things to note:
-
Players will get a shot at $1 million a year for life
-
It arrives as the new multi-state replacement starting in 2026
Across Massachusetts, Monday was a busy day for winners. At least 647 prizes worth $600 or more were claimed statewide — including:
-
50 in Boston
-
24 in Worcester
-
16 in Springfield
The state lottery posts a daily list of winners over $600, keeping track of all the big hits.
So far this year, the top prize claimed in Massachusetts has been a huge $1 million-a-year-for-life win from a “Lifetime Millions” scratch ticket sold in Springfield and claimed in July.
