Big Wins Across Massachusetts as Final $1M Cashword Prize Is Claimed
Monday turned into a huge win day for Massachusetts lottery players, with big prizes popping up all over the state.
The final $1 million prize from the popular crossword-style scratch game “$5,000,000 100X Cashword 2024” was officially claimed. That marks the 10th and last $1 million win from the game, which launched in June 2024. Even better—one massive $5 million top prize is still out there as of December 23.
But that wasn’t even the end of the excitement.
