Mystery Winner Claims $10 Million Lottery Prize in Massachusetts

A mystery winner in Massachusetts just snagged a massive $10 million prize—and managed to stay out of the spotlight while doing it.

Here’s what makes this win stand out:

• ?? The jackpot came from the “$10,000 Premier Cash” $20 scratch ticket (launched April 2023)
• ? The winner chose a lump sum of $6.5 million (before taxes)
• ? The lucky ticket was sold at A-1 Market in Avon, earning the store a $50,000 bonus

Instead of claiming the prize personally, the winner used a legal workaround. The ticket was cashed through the Welcome Spring Trust of Quincy, represented by trustee David Spillane—keeping the actual winner’s identity private.

Even though Massachusetts typically doesn’t allow anonymous lottery claims, there’s a loophole:

• Winners can set up a trust or legal entity
• A trustee claims the prize on their behalf
• Only the trustee’s name becomes public—not the winner’s

Lottery officials say this method has become increasingly popular, especially for big payouts. With just one $10 million grand prize still unclaimed in this game, the stakes remain high for anyone feeling lucky.
