MALDEN, MA — A resident is planning to put his winnings toward his daughter's education after a big State Lottery win.
Joseph Bulla won a $236,122 prize on a $10 bet playing the Massachusetts State Lottery's "The Lamp" online game. According to the MSL, Bulla claimed the prize at the Lottery's headquarters in Dorchester. He plans to put the winnings toward his daughter's education.
"The Lamp" is an online-only eInstant game available through Mass Lottery Online. The game features a progressive jackpot, meaning the value of the top prize can change before it is won. Bulla is one of several players to win six-figure prizes playing the game since the Lottery launched its online platform this summer. The first online prize of $50,000 or more was a $234,176 win on a $10 "The Lamp" bet in August.
Mass Lottery Online officially launched July 27 with 22 eInstant games available at the time. Players must be at least 21 years old and physically located in Massachusetts while playing or depositing money into an account. Players must also create a Mass Lottery Player Account through the Lottery's website or mobile app. Online prizes of $50,000 or more must be claimed at the Lottery's headquarters in Dorchester.
"The Lamp" allows players to wager different amounts on each play, with the size of potential prizes varying based on the amount wagered.
The Massachusetts State Lottery shares a daily list of winning tickets and online prizes that can be found online.
