Massachusetts woman has a dream she hits the lottery, wins big State Lottery prize and already has plans for the winnings

A Massachusetts woman’s dream became a reality recently and her family will be a part of it.

According to the Massachusetts State Lottery, Patricia Harris of Holliston is the winner of a $25,000 a year for life prize in the multi-state Lucky for Life game in the September 24, 2023 drawing. She won this prize when the first five numbers selected in this drawing matched those on her Quic Pic ticket.

Harris claimed her prize at Massachusetts State Lottery headquarters in Dorchester. She chose the cash option on her prize and received a one-time payment of $390,000 (before taxes). When claiming her prize, she said that six months prior to her big win, she had a dream that she was going to win the lottery. She said she plans to use her winnings to invest and to do some nice things for her family.

She bought her winning ticket at Country Farm, 429 Washington St. in Holliston. The store receives a $5,000 bonus for its sale of this ticket.
