A Massachusetts man has several plans after hitting $1 million State Lottery prize but one of them isn’t moving

A Massachusetts man has plenty of plans after hitting big money on a State Lottery scratch ticket.

According to the Massachusetts State Lottery, Charles Clemons of Chicopee is the fourth $1 million prize winner in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s Celtics Banner 18 instant ticket game that went on sale November 19.

Clemons, who was joined by his wife Sara when claiming his prize at the Lottery’s Dorchester headquarters, opted to receive his prize in the form of a one-time payment of $650,000 (before taxes). He said he plans on buying a new motorcycle, investing, saving, and remodeling the roof of his home.

He purchased his winning ticket at Racing Mart, 475 Saint James Ave. in Springfield. The store will receive a $10,000 bonus for its sale of this ticket.

The Celtics Banner 18 instant ticket includes two more instant grand prizes of $1 million. The game’s Second Chance Drawings give players the chance to enter non-winning tickets for a variety of Celtics experiential and merchandise prizes, including the opportunity to participate in the Banner 18 Challenge in which one lucky winner is guaranteed to win $1 million.

In each of the five Second Chance Drawings, one Banner 18 Challenge participant is selected. After all drawings are completed, the five winners will be invited to attend a Celtics home game and participate in the Banner 18 Challenge on the parquet floor at halftime.

The Banner 18 Challenge will determine which of the five participants wins the $1 million prize. The other four participants will each receive a $10,000 prize.

Additional second chance prizes include Celtics suite and all access experiences, game tickets, custom jerseys, and Celtics prize packs.

The Celtics Banner 18 ticket is the Mass Lottery’s fifth Celtics-branded offering since 2009 and the first since 2012. The ticket is available at Mass Lottery retailers across the state.
