A Massachusetts lottery player just closed out a big game—and chose to stretch the winnings over time instead of taking it all at once.

The final $4 million top prize from the “$4,000,000 Gold 50X” scratch-off (a $10 game launched in January 2025) has officially been claimed. This was the last grand prize left in the game.

Here’s how it played out:

• ?? Winning ticket sold at: 1899 Smoke Shop in Tewksbury
• ? Total prize: $4 million
• ?? Claim date: March 31
• ? Claimed by: Nary Lim Living Trust (trustee: Nary Lim)

Instead of a lump sum, the winner went with the annuity option—meaning steady payments over the years. The first payout? A solid $200,000 before taxes.

And it wasn’t just the player celebrating—the store that sold the lucky ticket scored a $40,000 bonus too.

 

Big win, smart payout choice, and a nice bonus for the seller—everyone walks away happy.
