$2M lottery prize claimed in Mass. from $50 ticket — for 2nd time in 2 days
Someone in Massachusetts claimed a $2 million lottery prize on Thursday from a winning $50 scratch ticket — the second time it's happened in the state in the past two days.
The $2 million prize claimed Thursday was from a winning 'Lifetime Millions' scratch ticket. The game was released in the winter of 2024.
Two top prizes of $1 million a year for life remain to be claimed as of May 30, along with two $2 million prizes and five $1 million prizes.
The winning $2 million ticket was sold at a shop called Flamingo Market in Attleboro.
On Wednesday, a $2 million prize was claimed from a new $50 lottery game called '$25,000,000 Mega Money." The $50 scratch ticket game released on May 13, and this was the first $2 million prize to be claimed in the game.
That winning $2 million ticket was sold in East Boston at East Boston Corner Market.
Overall, at least 609 prizes worth $600 or more were won or claimed in Massachusetts on Thursday, including 12 in Springfield, 17 in Worcester and 56 in Boston.
The Massachusetts State Lottery releases a full list of winning tickets every day. The list only includes winning tickets worth more than $600.
The two largest lottery prizes won so far in 2025 were each worth $15 million. One of the prizes was from a winning 'Diamond Deluxe' scratch ticket sold in Holyoke, and the other was from a '300X' scratch ticket sold on Cape Cod.

Why Strategy And Other Public Crypto Treasury Companies Are All The Rage
Why Strategy And Other Public Crypto Treasury Companies Are All The Rage originally appeared on TheStreet. By now, it's abundantly clear that the mega-trend of 2025 is publicly-traded companies following in the footsteps of Michael Saylor and Strategy to buy crypto and hold it on their balance sheet. No one has been doing it for as long or as big as Saylor has, and as such — Saylor got to give the keynote at Bitcoin's biggest conference of the year in Vegas. But as we highlighted last week, basically everyone is copying him now. Trump's media company is emulating the Bitcoin treasury playbook, alongside Metaplanet and now GameStop. There's the Ethereum treasury play now with SharpLink (freshly funded with another $425 million from ETH co-founder Joe Lubin's company Consensys.) And there's also a publicly-traded Solana treasury play now with Defi Dev Corp. — which saw shares climb by more than 3,000% after announcing it would be buying and holding SOL tokens. It's all become so commonplace that it was a little surprising to see Saylor dedicate a chunk of his conference-closing, standing room-only keynote to highlight why it's smart to leverage America's capital markets to do so. 'At the very top of the pyramid is the well-known seasoned issuer in the U.S. capital markets. There's a few hundred of them in the world,' Saylor told the crowd. 'What can you do when you crawl to the top of that pyramid? You can file a registration statement and sell a billion dollars of securities in six hours.' And if number-go-up is really all anyone cares about, then being more efficient at buying and holding a thing in a way that leads to price rising faster would, indeed, be rewarded. (It has certainly played a significant role in Bitcoin's price appreciating — which, in turn, has also fueled Strategy's nearly 3,000% rise over the last five years as it stacked 5% of Bitcoin's entire supply.) Notably, neither Trump's DJT nor GameStop hasn't yet enjoyed anything close to the premium to its net asset value (NAV) that Strategy continually trades with. Perhaps the better strategy, then, is to replicate Saylor's Strategy outside of Bitcoin? The answer seems to be a resounding, 'Yes.' Pantera Capital, which made an amazing 1,000x return on their Bitcoin bet, explained to Coinage this week why they invested millions into Defi Dev Corp. to potentially become the Strategy of Solana. Since announcing the company would be buying Solana as a treasury asset, DFDV shares have popped 3,000% as well. 'You look at MicroStrategy's $100 billion market cap — call it 5% of Bitcoin. If you translate that over to Solana … that's $5 billion," Pantera's Comso Jiang said, justifying Pantera's initial $50 million bet to get DFDV cranking with its Solana buys. "It sounds like a pretty big [total addressable market] to me.' expected to feature one of the largest crypto public offerings in a long time. Circle, the stablecoin issuer behind USDC (second-largest stablecoin in the world behind Tether) has just boosted its offering due to demand. An amended S-1 filing showed Circle boosted its price range from $24–$26 per share to $27–$28 per share and is seeking a total valuation north of $7 billion. Circle also couldn't be listing at a better time as the stablecoin bill is also getting another big push across the finish line. As House Financial Services Chair French Hill tells us, the Senate has its work to do — but everything is progressing as expected. Circle should benefit from that hype though the listing this week, even if the vote doesn't materialize as soon as expected. Elsewhere, a crypto trader going by the name James Wynn is continuing to post incredibly sized trades on X. With leverage, he's ridden $4 million position all the way up to $100 million, before getting closed out at a $17.5 million loss. It's unclear if it's a standalone trader, or people working in tandem with others to bring awareness to the HyperLiquid trading platform — but Wynn has increasingly gotten louder in calling out crypto market makers and exchange owners, including Binance's CZ, in tweets. He re-opened a new position Monday and called on people to donate USDC to his public wallet and buy Bitcoin to defend what he insinuated was a calculated short against his position. Wynn later used the nearly $21,000 that was went to him to slightly lower his liquidation price. It's a funny thing to consider, but perhaps it proves the reason why Saylor's strategy has worked so well: You could be this guy and ask people to donate to a Bitcoin levered bet and receive $20,460. Or, you can be Saylor and leverage the trust of public markets for his Bitcoin bet and receive $42 billion. One of those things is not like the other.

The Company That Started Toyota Plans to Go Private in a $34 Billion Deal
The nearly century-old Japanese company that founded Toyota Motor in the 1930s plans to go private in a deal that values the now-forklift maker at about $34 billion, with backing from the car giant's chairman, Akio Toyoda, and other group companies. Toyota Fudosan, the group's real-estate arm, said Tuesday that it will set up an entity to start a tender offer to acquire shares of Toyota Industries and take it private. How Moderna Went From Pandemic Hero to Vaccine Victim Walt Disney Co. to Lay Off Hundreds Bitcoin Goes All In on MAGA, Shedding Its Antigovernment Slant Meta Aims to Fully Automate Ad Creation Using AI Jamie Dimon Says He Isn't Retiring Anytime Soon The real-estate firm is privately held by Toyota group companies. Toyoda serves as its chairman. The company said it expects to control a 99.44% stake in the entity that will fully own Toyota Industries following a series of transactions, with Toyoda holding the remaining share. Toyota Industries, from which Toyota Motor was spun off in 1937, produces forklifts, cars, engines, other auto parts and textile machinery. It was founded by Sakichi Toyoda, Akio Toyoda's great-grandfather. Today, Toyota Motor is the biggest shareholder in the affiliate, owning about one-quarter of the company. Meanwhile, Toyota Industries has a stake of about 9% in the Japanese automaker. Toyota Industries, which is focusing on developing autonomous technologies for forklifts and logistics management software, plans to further advance these activities through the privatization while deepening collaboration within the group. The move comes as some corporate management teams have opted to go private in Tokyo recently as financial regulators press them to boost shareholder returns and shareholder activism gains traction. Attempts are sometimes unsuccessful, as buyouts require large sums of money. In late April, Toyota Industries said it would oppose proposals by French investment fund Longchamp, represented by Dalton Investments, at its general shareholders' meeting next week. Longchamp is proposing that outside directors make up most of the board to address concerns about potential conflicts of interest between its large and minority shareholders, according to filings by the Japanese company. The real-estate company, Toyota Fudosan, said Tuesday that it will offer to buy shares of Toyota Industries for 16,300 yen each. It aims to begin the tender offer in early December. That values the company at about Y4.9 trillion, equivalent to $34.34 billion, based on about 300 million shares outstanding. Shares ended 0.8% higher at Y18,400 on Tuesday. They were below Y13,000 in mid-April, before the company said it received various proposals, including one to take the business private. Group companies Aisin, Denso and Toyota Tsusho said they plan to sell their stakes in Toyota Industries in the tender offer. Toyota Motor and the three companies plan to buy back their shares from Toyota Industries following the tender offer, and Toyota Industries plans to buy back its shares from Toyota Motor after it is delisted.

American Antisemitism
Three times in as many months, people who claim to fight for Palestinian rights have attacked Jews on American soil. Sunday's Molotov cocktail assault in Boulder followed the killing in May of two young Israeli embassy aides in Washington, D.C., and the April firebombing of the governor's mansion in Harrisburg, Pa., where Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family were celebrating Passover. This is what a resurgence of violent antisemitism looks like. The attacks were also acts of anti-Zionism — a clear response to the war in Gaza. There is a useful distinction between the clear bigotry of Jew hatred and the political and historical debate over Zionism — the support for a Jewish state. But, partly in response to the Oct. 7 war, the categories are collapsing. Salvos against Israel are colliding with longstanding prejudice, sometimes with deadly effect. Today's newsletter is about that collision. The collapse It is a moment of despair for advocates for Palestinian rights. Many are desperate: More than 50,000 have died in Gaza, and much of the territory has been razed. The Trump administration appears to believe any defense of Palestinian lives is evidence of Jew hatred. (As my colleague Tyler Pager put it last night, the president has lots to say about antisemitism and little to say about Jews.) It has used pro-Palestinian speech as a pretext for assaults on higher education, science funding, foreign students and immigrants. But attacks on Jews for the actions of an Israeli government a world away are collective punishment, and collective punishment is bigotry. This was not even a question when Muslims in America were attacked as retribution for the murderous actions of Al Qaeda on 9/11. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
