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

According to the Massachusetts State Lottery, Joseph Dion of Lowell is the first $1 million prize winner in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s new “$10,000,000 Instant Millions” $20 instant ticket game that went on sale Tuesday, August 12.

Dion chose the cash option on his prize and received a one-time payment of $650,000 (before taxes). He said he plans on purchasing a Harley-Davidson motorcycle as well as a house with the winnings.

He went to the store for water and gum, saw the ticket and thought, “That one looks good!”

Dion purchased his winning ticket at Village Market, 588 South St. in Waltham. The store receives a $10,000 bonus for its sale of this ticket.

The “$10,000,000 Instant Millions” instant ticket includes six more instant prizes of $1 million as well as two instant grand prizes of $10 million.
