He opted for the one-time cash option, taking home a lump sum of $650,000 before taxes. Strickland, who said he has never taken a vacation before, plans to use the money for a long-awaited trip to Las Vegas.
The retailer that sold the winning ticket will receive a $10,000 bonus from the Massachusetts State Lottery for its role in the sale.
The '$25,000,000 Mega Money' instant ticket game debuted on May 13 and offers several high-tier prizes, including 11 additional $1 million prizes, three $2 million prizes, and three grand prizes of $25 million.
In addition to the instant prizes, the game features up to 10 Second Chance Drawings throughout its sales period. These drawings will give players additional opportunities to win prizes ranging from $100 to $50,000.
