Massachusetts man has several plans after hitting $1 million State Lottery prize and we approve

A Massachusetts man has several plans after hitting big money on a State Lottery scratch ticket and they make some pretty good sense.

According to the Massachusetts State Lottery, Adam Finnell of Attleboro is the first $1 million prize winner in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s new “$4,000,000 Extreme Cash” $10 instant ticket game that went on sale Tuesday, March 31.

Finnell chose the cash option on his prize and received a one-time payment of $650,000 (before taxes). He said he plans to use his winnings to invest, save for retirement, make some home repairs, and go on a few trips.  

The winning ticket was purchased at Dodgeville Country Store, 408 South Main St. in Attleboro. The store receives a $10,000 bonus for its sale of this ticket.

The “$4,000,000 Extreme Cash” instant ticket includes five more instant prizes of $1 million and two grand prizes of $4 million.
