Massachusetts brother and sister both win State Lottery $25,000 a year for life; here’s how
Brother and sister William Fralick and Pamela McClure, both of Brockton, have each won a $25,000 a year for life prize in the multi-state Lucky for Life game after the first five numbers on their tickets matched those selected in the August 25 drawing.
The siblings said that their winning numbers represent family birthdays.
They claimed their prizes Friday, August 30 at Massachusetts State Lottery headquarters in Dorchester. Both Fralick and McClure chose the cash option on their prizes, each receiving a one-time payment of $390,000 (before taxes). McClure has no plans yet for her winnings, while Fralick said he plans on putting his into savings.
Fralick bought his winning ticket at Star Food Mart, 4 Hovendon Ave. in Brockton, while McClure bought her winning ticket at 7-Eleven, 145 North Quincy St. in Abington. Each store receives a $5,000 bonus for their sale of these tickets.
Lucky for Life drawings are conducted seven nights a week.
