One lucky ticket — and a small convenience store in Turners Falls — just hit it big.
Open Door Trust of Boston accepted the first $25 million grand prize in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s “$25,000,000 Mega Money” instant ticket game Thursday, according to a statement from lottery officials.
Trustee Renat Lumpau, representing the trust, accepted the winnings as a one-time payment of $16,250,000 before taxes, lottery officials said.
The winning ticket was purchased at Cumberland Farms on Montague City Road in Turner Falls, according to the lottery. The store will receive a $50,000 bonus for selling the ticket.
And for hopeful players, the game isn’t over yet.
Lottery officials said the “$25,000,000 Mega Money” instant ticket still has two more $25 million grand prizes remaining.
