Two of the biggest lottery winners in the state were both sold at the same Danvers shop on Thursday.
Village Food Shop in Danvers sold two winning $100,000 tickets in the game “Mass Cash,” according to the Massachusetts State Lottery.
The same store, located at 37 High St. in Danvers, sold a $1 million prize less than three years earlier, on Wednesday, Nov. 10, lottery records show.
That ticket was for a game called “The Fastest Road to $1,000,000.” It was the largest lottery prize sold in Danvers that year.
To play “Mass Cash,” a player selects five numbers from 1-35. Those who match all five numbers win $100,000. Tickets cost $1 and drawings are daily at 9 p.m. Odds of winning $100,000 are 1 in 324,632. Smaller prizes for matching four numbers ($250) and three numbers ($10) are also awarded. Overall odds of winning are 1 in 72.
Other $100,000 prizes from Thursday were sold or claimed in Winthrop and Marlborough.
