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.

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.
