A Boston man won $160,000 from a lottery ticket he bought for $2.
Kelvin Pippins, of Roxbury, won his prize from the “$200 A Week For Life” scratch ticket game released in February. Each ticket costs $2, and there’s still six $200 a week for life top prizes remaining as of June 27.
Pippins, who won $200 a week for life on his ticket, opted to receive his prize in the form of a one-time payment of $160,000 before taxes. He told the lottery he plans on helping his mother and children with the winnings.
Pippins bought the winning scratch ticket at Uphams Corner Market at 521 Columbia Rd. in Dorchester. The shop will receive a $2,080 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
