DORCHESTER, Mass. (WWLP) – A Dorchester resident has claimed a $1 million prize in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s “300X” instant ticket game.
Final weekend for “The Great Halloween Drive-Thru”
Emanuel Correia selected the cash option for his prize, opting for a one-time payment of $650,000 before taxes. He says that his first priority with the winnings will be purchasing a new home, a dream that his lottery win has made possible.
The winning ticket was purchased at Star 50 Convenience, located at 303 Geneva Avenue in Dorchester. As a result, the store will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket, bringing an added benefit to the local business.
