DORCHESTER, MA (July 24, 2023) – Two of the three $1 million prizes won on tickets sold in Massachusetts for the Wednesday, July 19 Powerball drawing were claimed Friday, July 21 at Massachusetts State Lottery headquarters in Dorchester.

Jan Busby of Norfolk was the first to claim her prize. The winning numbers Busby selected were birthdays of family members. She said she only plays a few times a year, but played this time because the jackpot was so high. She purchased her ticket at Shaw’s Supermarket, 255 East Central St. in Franklin.

Rae Ann Wentworth-Cadieux of Hadley claimed her prize late Friday afternoon. She chose the numbers 7 and 11 for the name of the convenience store chain and used race car numbers for the remainder (10, 13 and 24). She plans to use her winnings to buy a summer home. Her winning ticket was purchased at Pride Station & Store, 445 Russell St. in Hadley.

A third $1 million prize won in Massachusetts in this drawing was sold by Global Montello/Gulf, 821 Main St. in Waltham.
