$5M Lottery Prize Sold In Norwood

NORWOOD, MA — One lucky lottery player in Massachusetts won a major prize this week.

A winning $5 million ticket was purchased at Dairy Fine, a small convenience store at 201 Fulton St. in Norwood on Tuesday. Baker Law Group Mass Lottery Trust XXI of Hingham claimed the prize.

The trust, represented by trustee Michael Baker, chose to receive the prize as a one-time payment of $3,250,000 before taxes. The store that sold it will also receive a $50,000 bonus for the sale.

The prize was won from the Massachusetts State Lottery's "$5,000,000 100X CASHWORD" scratch-off game.

To win, a player must complete at least two words in either Cashword puzzle or uncover a silver bar symbol in Game 3.

The instant ticket game includes only two $5 million grand prizes, with one remaining. The odds of winning a prize that large were one in more than five million, according to the lottery's website. The game also included 10 $1 million prizes, and only two of those have been claimed.

Nearly 20 other lottery prizes were sold in Norwood on Tuesday, with the second largest being $5,000.

The Massachusetts State Lottery publishes a daily list of winning tickets sold statewide on its website. You can find it here.
