Two Massachusetts Residents Win $1 Million Lottery Prizes

Two Massachusetts residents, Michelle Ross of Randolph and Matthew Tracy of Worcester, recently won $1 million lottery prizes, each opting for a $650,000 lump-sum payment before taxes. Ross won via a '100X' scratch ticket and plans to buy two cars, while Tracy received his winning '$10,000,000 Bonanza' ticket as a gift and is still undecided about his plans. Both retailers that sold the winning tickets will receive $10,000 bonuses. At MGM Springfield, a player won a $16,803.44 jackpot on a $1 bet, with the casino distributing over $12 million in jackpots in both April and May. These events demonstrate a streak of significant wins for Massachusetts lottery and casino players. The broader economic impact is highlighted by retailer bonuses and sustained local gaming activity.
