Massachusetts Woman Wins $1M Lottery Prize After Searching for Specific Scratch Ticket Game

Sandra Guarino of North Easton, Massachusetts, has claimed a $1 million lottery prize after going to multiple stores to find the specific scratch ticket game she wanted to play.

The winning game was the “$2,000,000 50X Cashword” offered by the Massachusetts State Lottery.

After the first store didn't have the game, Guarino went to the E Market Convenience Store & Deli in Easton, where she purchased the winning ticket.

The market will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the ticket. Guarino chose the cash option and received a one-time payment of $650,000 before taxes. 

She plans to use some of the winnings to pay off her mortgage.
