A Massachusetts state lottery player wins $20,000 from $50 ticket

A $20,000 lottery prize was claimed in the new $50 scratch ticket game on the first day of its release by the Massachusetts State Lottery.

“Lifetime Millions” was released on Feb. 6, with a top prize of $1 million a year for life. The scratch ticket game is the lottery’s second $50 ticket it has released a year to date; “Billion Dollar Extravaganza,” was the best-selling scratch ticket in the country last year.

The $20,000 prize claimed from the game on Tuesday is the highest prize to be claimed yet as of Feb. 7. The winning ticket was sold in Norwood from a shop called Pam’s Market.

Additionally, there were four $5,000 and 22 $1,000 prizes claimed in the new lottery game on Tuesday. More than 1,000 and 9,500 prizes valued at $500 and $100, respectively, were also claimed.

Besides its three top prizes available to win $1 million a year for life, “Lifetime Millions” also has four $2 million prizes and 12 $1 million prizes.
