After six month of drawing lottery player claimed winning prize

In January, Paul Little purchased a winning lottery ticket in Lakeville, 20 miles southwest of Plymouth, but lost it right away, leaving it on the counter of a liquor store.

On June 30, Little finally collected the $ 3 million winnings and wished Nunes well.

“I’m gonna wish her the best,” Little said at the Massachusetts State Lottery headquarters in Dorchester, according to MassLive.

“I know, she’s put herself in a difficult spot. But hopefully, she’ll work her way to a better life.”

Little has several plans on how to spend his massive winnings – including paying for the mortgage on his house.

The diesel mechanic told reporters that he plans to keep working now, but might take the opportunity to pursue other interests. Little also plans on helping his local community with some of the funds.

“I know the church I go to, they’re in need of a heating system. So we’ll be working to contribute to that,” he said.
