$1M scratch-off score sets up long-term payday in Massachusetts

Massachusetts player locks in $1M win with Southampton scratch-off ticket

Southampton, MA — A routine stop at a convenience store turned into a long-term payout after a Massachusetts woman secured a $1M prize from a scratch-off ticket purchased in Southampton.

Diane Seymour of Easthampton won the prize playing the Massachusetts State Lottery’s $4,000,000 In The Money instant game. She chose the annuity option, receiving $50,000 annually over 20 years before taxes.

The winning ticket was purchased at Cumberland Farms located at 130 College Highway in Southampton. The retailer will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the ticket.

Lottery officials said Seymour plans to use the winnings toward her retirement.

The $10 instant game continues to offer remaining top prizes, with winners determined after tickets are claimed and validated.
