3 $100K lottery prizes won in Mass. on New Year’s Day
Some people in Massachusetts started the new year on an especially high note — three $100,000 lottery prizes were won in the state on Jan. 1.
The $100,000 prizes were all from the twice-daily "Mass Cash" drawings. All three were won during the evening drawing, which had winning numbers 3, 4, 8, 11 and 25.
Two of the winning tickets, which matched all five numbers, were sold on Cape Cod at Falmouth Food Mart. The third was sold at a 7-Eleven in Lowell.
Players have one year from the date of the drawing to come forward and claim their prize. Prizes up to $103,000 can be claimed at Lottery claim centers in Braintree, Dorchester, Lawrence, West Springfield and Worcester.
"Mass Cash" drawings are held twice daily and tickets to play cost $1 each. Players must choose five numbers between one and 35 or a Quic Pic selection, and tickets that match all five numbers win the $100,000 grand prize.
Overall, at least 411 prizes worth $600 or more were won or claimed in Massachusetts on Thursday, including seven in Springfield, 14 in Worcester and 25 in Boston.
The Massachusetts State Lottery releases a full list of winning tickets every day. The list only includes winning tickets worth more than $600.
