Talk about a life-changing scratch-off! A Pittsfield woman just hit it big with a $10 million win on a Massachusetts Lottery instant ticket.

• The lucky winner: Sarah Newton of Pittsfield

• The game: “$200X” $20 instant ticket

• The payout: She chose the lump sum cash option, walking away with a whopping $6.5 million

Newton said she plans to use the money to buy a new home and help out her family—a dream move many lottery players can relate to.

Her big win also paid off for the store where she bought the ticket. Convenience Plus, located on West Housatonic Street, will pocket a cool $50,000 bonus just for selling it.

 

A scratch, a reveal, and now a millionaire—that’s how fast fortunes can change.
