$1 million lottery prize purchased in Hingham
Jose Collado of Pelham, New Hampshire bought his ticket at Speedway on McGrath Hwy. in Somerville. Collado previously won $1,000 on an instant ticket he bought the day before, so he decided to go back to the same store to purchase another ticket, which led to his $4 million win.
'You can win more in Mass!' Collado said after being asked to comment on his big win. He said he also plans on investing his winnings.
This marks the second time a New Hampshire resident won a seven-figure prize with a Massachusetts Lottery ticket in the last three months. Back on December 10, a Nashua, New Hampshire resident claimed a $1 million prize won on a Powerball ticket purchased at Mobil located at 940 Andover St. in Tewksbury.

Powerball jackpots to $100m
Powerball has soared to a mighty $100m after no entries claimed the jackpot on Thursday. The winning numbers were 1, 30, 12, 34, 24, 9, 6 and the Powerball 10. Six people around the nation took home $121,979 each in the division two prize pool. It was the week's second biggest draw after a Tasmanian man became an instant multi-millionaire scoring $70m on Tuesday. The fortunate Tasmanian man who claimed the entire division one prize earlier this week said he planned to retire immediately, purchase a dream home with his partner and support his family. 'Oh, this is brilliant, absolutely brilliant … I've had a (rough) couple of years,' he said. 'I am just getting back on my feet, and I still have a mortgage when everyone else (my age) is about to retire. I have been saying I will have to work until I am 70, but not now.' Powerball is Australia's biggest jackpot lottery that has seen 21 people win a total of $524m division one prize pools this year. Last year, a man from South Australia claimed the game's biggest ever individual lottery win in Australia taking home a huge $150m. The luckiest numbers drawn in Powerball are 9, 7, 17, 11, 3, 23 and 2. The least drawn numbers are 33, 31, 29, 15, 13, 26 and 8. Entries to Thursday's draw close at 7.30pm AEST with the draw shortly after.

Wealth surtax may generate $3 billion
BOSTON (SHNS) – State budget honcho Matthew Gorzkowicz told municipal officials Tuesday that the state is on track to rake in nearly $3 billion from its surtax on household income greater than about $1 million, more than double the estimate used to craft this year's budget. The Department of Revenue reported last month that the state had collected just less than $2.6 billion from the 4% surtax between July 1, 2024 and April 30, 2025, surpassing the $2.46 billion that the surtax generated in fiscal 2024 in just 10 months of fiscal 2025. May and June collections are expected to add to that total, and Gorzkowicz said Tuesday that he now thinks total fiscal 2025 surtax collections 'could be closer to $3 billion.' 'We will have the benefit of being able to spend those dollars on education transportation, as you've seen us do with our January supp as part of our transportation package this past year,' the secretary of administration and finance told the Local Government Advisory Commission, referring to the surtax surplus spending bill that is now in conference committee. 'We'll have another opportunity to do that again.' The Healey administration and legislative Democrats have used conservative collection estimates in the first few years of the surtax, which was approved by voters in 2022. Under the constitution, revenue generated by the surtax can only be used for education or transportation initiatives and the conservative estimating has given lawmakers extra money to dole out separate from the traditional state budget process. When they built the fiscal 2025 budget, the administration and legislative leaders agreed to spend $1.3 billion in surtax revenue this year. If Gorzkowicz's estimate proves correct, the Legislature could have as much as $1.7 billion to spend sometime after DOR certifies the full-year surtax collection amount in the fall. When they agreed on a consensus revenue estimate for fiscal 2026 earlier this year, Gorzkowicz and the Ways and Means Committee chairs mutually estimated the state will collect $2.4 billion from the income surtax in fiscal 2026. But they agreed to spend at most $1.95 billion from that in the annual budget bill, which like the surtax surplus bill is also the subject of conference committee negotiations.
