A Massachusetts man has some smart plans and a reason to smile after winning big money playing a State Lottery game recently.
According to the Massachusetts State Lottery, Michael Sacks of East Bridgewater is the winner of a $281,851 prize on a $1 bet while playing “The Lamp,” an online-only eInstant game available through Mass Lottery Online.
Sacks claimed his $281,851 prize (before taxes) at the Mass Lottery’s headquarters in Dorchester. “It still doesn’t even feel real, it’s a crazy feeling,” Sacks said when asked how it feels to win this prize. He plans on investing and savings the winnings.
Prizes won purchased online of $50,000 or more must be claimed at the Lottery’s headquarters in Dorchester.
