Massachusetts Lottery Crowns Rutland Resident with $50K Payout

A Rutland resident has a lot to be happy about, after he managed to turn his $10 lottery ticket purchase into a $50,000 payout, the Massachusetts Lottery reported. 

A Quick Travel to Mass Lotto’s HQ Results in $50K Payout

The man, identified as Edward Brackett, had played online and won at an e-instant game, “The Lamp.” The winner showed up at the Massachusetts Lottery headquarters to claim his reward, as per state laws.

Any prize worth $50,000 or more must be claimed in person at the lottery’s headquarters, regardless of the mode of winning. 

The lottery has been actively promoting its games and crowning one winner after the next. Yet, Brackett’s six-figure win is just a drop in the ocean, after another ticket was sold and won just last week.

The scratch-off ticket scooped a $25,000,000 payout, making it one of the largest instant lottery game payouts. The prize was picked at the $25,000,000 MEGA MONEY game. There is only one grand prize remaining to be picked from the game, before it wraps up.
