A Massachusetts State Lottery player claimed a $1 million prize on Wednesday, leaving just one grand prize left in one of the lottery’s scratch ticket games.
The player had bought their winning $1 million lottery ticket from a shop in Malden, called Linden Convenience, and came forward to claim their prize on Nov. 1.
The prize was from the lottery’s scratch ticket game called “Double Your Money,” which was released on March 18, 2022. There were four $1 million grand prizes available to win in the game upon its release, with the odds of winning the grand prize at 1 in 3.024 million.
Overall, there were at least 527 lottery prizes worth $600 or more won or claimed in Massachusetts on Wednesday, including 12 in Springfield and 22 in Worcester.
The Massachusetts State Lottery releases a full list of all the winning tickets each day. The list only includes winning tickets worth more than $600.
