A Massachusetts father who won $4 million playing the lottery wants to pay for his daughter’s education with the prize.
Erik Arsenault, of Lowell, won $4 million playing the “$4,000,000 Diamonds” scratch ticket game, which costs $10 per ticket to play.
Arsenault chose the cash option on his prize and received a one-time payment of $2.6 million before taxes. He told the lottery he wants to help his family, pay for his daughter’s education and buy a new car with the winnings.
The Lowell man bought his winning ticket at Lucky Corner Market, located at 1300 Gorham St. The store will receive a $40,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
