Massachusetts woman stops for a snack, now she is on the move after hitting $1 million State Lottery prize
Stopping for a snack turned very lucrative for a Massachusetts woman as it resulted in a big State Lottery win.
According to the Massachusetts State Lottery, Yoselinne Martinez of East Boston is the winner of a $1 million prize in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s “$4,000,000 Bonus Loot” $10 instant ticket game.
She chose the cash option on her prize and received a one-time payment of $650,000 (before taxes). Martinez plans on buying a home with her winnings.
She purchased her winning ticket at Newtown Food Market, 87 Medford St. in Charlestown. The store will receive a $10,000 bonus for its sale of this ticket.
