Mass. woman wins first $1M prize in this new $10 lottery game
A Quincy woman won the first $1 million prize in a new $10 scratch ticket game and came forward Thursday to claim her prize.
Cheryl Pitts-Rogier, of Quincy, won $1 million from the "$4,000,000 In The Money" scratch ticket game, which was released in January.
Pitts-Rogier chose the cash option on her prize and received a one-time payment of $650,000 before taxes. She told the lottery she wants to make home improvements with the winnings.
This was the first $1 million prize to be claimed in the game, which costs $10 per ticket to play. There's still eight $1 million prizes and all three $4 million grand prizes remaining to be claimed as of March 25.
Pitts-Rogier bought her winning ticket at the 7-Eleven at 495 Washington St. in Quincy. The store will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
