Large Lottery Prize Sold At Worcester Convenience Store

WORCESTER, MA — A large lottery prize was sold at a convenience store in the city last week.

On Friday, Feb. 20, a $100,000 prize was sold at the Xtra Mart, at 280 Providence St. The prize was won from the Massachusetts State Lottery's "$15,000,000 Colossal Millions" scratcher game.

To win, a player must match any of their numbers to the winning numbers on the scratcher. The game offers three players the chance to win the top prize of $15 million. Only one winning ticket of that size has been sold so far.

In September, the $15 million-winning lottery ticket was sold at a store in Sterling. The winner, DAO Trust in Milton, represented by trustee Matthew Marcus, opted to get the winnings in a one-time payment of $9.75 million before taxes.

Since then, two of eight $1 million prizes have been claimed, and 53 of 180 $100,000 prizes have been claimed.

The Massachusetts State Lottery shares a daily list of winning tickets. You can find it here.
