Many of us would like to get away. A Massachusetts man plans on doing just that after hitting big money on a State Lottery scratch ticket.
According to the Massachusetts State Lottery, Vatchel Younger of Roxbury is the first $2 million grand prize winner in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s new $2,000,000 Diamond Cashword instant ticket game that went on sale Tuesday, January 7.
He chose the cash option on his prize and received a one-time payment of $1,300,000 (before taxes). Younger plans to travel and purchase a new car with the winnings.
He purchased his winning ticket at Shaw’s,125 Pearl St. in Braintree. The store will receive a $20,000 bonus for its sale of this ticket.
The $2,000,000 Diamond Cashword instant ticket includes four more instant grand prizes of $2 million. The game’s Second Chance Drawings will include up to five drawings during the sales period of the game. In each of the Second Chance Drawings, players will have the opportunity to win second chance prizes ranging from $100 to $10,000.
