Massachusetts man plans on staying put after hitting $1 million State Lottery prize; here is how he will spend the cash

If you like where you live, why move? A Massachusetts man has some plans after hitting big money on a State Lottery scratch ticket, but moving isn’t one of them.

According to the Massachusetts State Lottery, Robert Hadayia of Norfolk is the winner of a $1 million prize in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s “$4,000,000 Bonus Bucks” $10 instant ticket game.

Hadayia, who was joined by his wife Marissa when claiming his prize at the Lottery’s Dorchester headquarters, opted to receive his prize in the form of a one-time payment of $650,000 (before taxes). He said he plans on putting the winnings towards home improvements and two new cars.

He purchased his winning ticket at Snacks Express, 60 South St. in Boston. The store receives a $10,000 bonus for its sale of this ticket.

$4,000,000 Bonus Bucks has two $4,000,000 prizes and four $1,000,000 prizes remaining.
