According to the Massachusetts State Lottery, Joseph DeFeudis of Pelham, NH is the winner of a $25,000 a year for life prize in the multi-state Lucky for Life game after the first five numbers on his ticket matched those selected in the November 16th drawing.

DeFeudis claimed his prize Thursday, January 2 at Massachusetts State Lottery headquarters in Dorchester. He chose the cash option on his prize and received a one-time payment of $390,000 (before taxes). He said he plans on retiring with the winnings.
