Mass. State Lottery winner: General store sells $25,000-a-year-for-life ticket
A lottery player from Massachusetts will receive $25,000 a year for the rest of their life after they won the lottery on Friday.
The prize was won from the daily " Lucky for Life " drawing held Oct. 17. The winning numbers for the drawing were 7, 24, 34, 45, 47 and Lucky Ball: 11.
The winning ticket sold in Massachusetts — which matched all of the numbers drawn except for the Lucky Ball — was purchased from Little Comfort General Store in Whitman.
The odds of winning $25,000 a year for life are 1 in 1,813,027. The last time someone got it was Sept. 25 for a ticket purchased from a 7-Eleven in the Jamaica Plain neighborhood of Boston.
Additionally, someone claimed the top prize in the $100,000 Max Winnings scratch ticket game Friday.
The $100,000 winning ticket was purchased for $10 at the Saugus Lodge of Elks. So far, 18 top prizes have been claimed, with 62 more to go.
Overall, at least 568 prizes worth $600 or more were won or claimed in Massachusetts on Friday, including 10 in Springfield, 25 in Worcester and 46 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.
The largest lottery prize won so far this year was worth $1 million a year for life, from a winning "Lifetime Millions" scratch ticket sold in Springfield and claimed in July.
