Melrose Gas Station Sells $2 Million Winning Lottery Ticket

MELROSE, MA — A Massachusetts State Lottery player is richer after a $50 scratch ticket purchased in Melrose won a $2 million prize.

The IASACO Trust of Quincy won the prize through the MSL's "$25,000,000 Mega Money" instant ticket game. Represented by trustee David Spillane, the trust claimed its winnings on Thursday, Aug. 27, and opted to receive a one-time payment of $1.3 million before taxes.

The winning ticket was purchased at the Mobil gas station on 386 Main St. The store will receive a $20,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The $50 "$25,000,000 Mega Money" game features three $25 million grand prizes and multiple $2 million prizes. The odds of winning the game's grand prize are one in 8.4 million. One of the three $25 million prizes has been claimed, leaving two remaining.

The winning $25 million ticket was sold earlier this year at a Cumberland Farms gas station in Turners Falls. The prize remains the largest Massachusetts lottery prize claimed so far this year.

The Massachusetts State Lottery shares a daily list of winning tickets and drawing results that can be found online.
