There are some pretty happy grandchildren after a Massachusetts woman announced how she plans on spending her big State Lottery prize.

According to the Massachusetts State Lottery, Diane Richards of Falmouth is the first $1 million grand prize winner in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s “Extreme Green” $5 instant ticket game.

Richards chose the cash option on her prize and received a one-time payment of $650,000 (before taxes). She plans on giving some of the winnings to her five grandchildren.  

The winning ticket was purchased at 7-Eleven, 743 Main St. in Falmouth. The store receives a $10,000 bonus for its sale of this ticket.

The “Extreme Green” instant ticket includes two more instant grand prizes of $1 million.
