WORCESTER, MA — One lucky Massachusetts Lottery player won a large prize after buying a ticket in the city this week.
A winning $50,000 ticket was purchased at a 7-Eleven location in Worcester on Tuesday. The prize was won from the Massachusetts State Lottery's "Power Play™ Cashword" game.
To win, a player must uncover enough letters to complete at least two words in the POWER PLAY CASHWORD puzzle. Prizes are based on the number of complete words revealed, with a multiplier that can increase winnings by up to 10 times.
The odds of winning a prize worth $50,000 in the game are one in more than 1 million, according to the state lottery. Five prizes of that size have been claimed in this game, while 10 remain.
The state lottery commission did not share who won the prize, but retailers that sell a winning ticket typically receive a bonus from the Lottery.
Meanwhile, a major prize was sold in Worcester last week. A winning $50,000 ticket was purchased at a Gateway Food Shops location last Tuesday. The prize was won from the Massachusetts State Lottery's "$10,000,000 Cashword" game.
The Massachusetts State Lottery publishes a daily list of winning tickets sold statewide on its website. You can find it here.
