Massachusetts Man Claims $2M Powerball Prize

Christopher Williams of Fall River, Massachusetts, won a $2 million prize on a Powerball ticket purchased during a multi-state drawing with a $383.8 million jackpot. Williams decided to buy the ticket while out on a walk with his children to get slushies, playing the Power Play option which doubled his $1 million prize to $2 million. He matched the first five numbers on his Quick Pick ticket and claimed his prize at the Massachusetts State Lottery’s Dorchester headquarters. Williams plans to use his winnings to buy a house, invest, and support his children. The winning ticket was bought at a Cumberland Farms store on Stevens Street in Fall River, which will receive a $20,000 bonus for selling the ticket. This story highlights a fortunate lottery win that came from an everyday family outing.
