Father Buys Winning Lottery Tickets For Son, Daughter

A Brockton father who gave two of the lottery tickets featuring the same number to his son and daughter saw his lucky hunch pay off. Robert Lundstedt bought nine tickets - all with his usual 1-7-11-26-30 combo - from four different locations for Monday's Mass Cash drawing. All nine tickets won the $100,000 prize.

Lundstedt had given his daughter Kristen and son Brian, both of Bridgewater, each a ticket before the drawing. The three of them visited the Lottery's Braintree headquarters on Wednesday to get their prize.

Robert is a carpenter who said he'd use the $700,000 (before tax) to pay his home mortgage. Kristen and Brain would be using their payout on college.

Four of the winning tickets were bought at Trucchi's in West Bridgewater, two at Quick Stop in West Bridgewater, two in The Corner Market in West Bridgewater, and one at Cumberland Farms in Bridgewater.

An additional $100,000 winner was sold at Fisher's Pub in Middleboro, but no one has claimed it yet.

The Mass Cash tickets are $1 each.
