Largest Mass. lottery win of 2025 comes from scratch ticket — and one top prize is still out there
The largest lottery prize won in Massachusetts in 2025 was from a game that still has one top prize remaining at the start of 2026.
There were 661 lottery prizes worth $100,000 or more won in Massachusetts in 2025, with 64 of those winners who claimed prizes worth $1 million or more.
The top prize won in Massachusetts in 2025 was worth $1 million a year for life. The prize was from " Lifetime Millions ," a $50 scratch ticket game released on Feb. 6, 2024.
As of Jan. 7, there is just one $1 million a year for life prize remaining to be claimed in the game. Two $2 million prizes and four $1 million prizes are also still up for grabs, after one $2 million and three $1 million prizes were claimed last year.
The winner chose to claim their prize through a trust called SFBLGLN1944 Trust of Quincy and opted to receive their prize as a one-time payment of $15.4 million. They planned on investing the winnings, trustee David Spillane told the lottery.
This top prize ranks 32nd on the list of the top largest lottery prizes of all time, tying with the same prize from the same game claimed in July 2024 , according to the Massachusetts State Lottery.
