People across Massachusetts dream of striking it rich with the Mass Lottery. Every week, thousands try their luck on scratch tickets and draw games. With both excitement and community stories, the Mass Lottery remains a fixture of life in the Bay State.
The Mass Lottery often creates local celebrities. Just recently, Orley Espinosa of Revere won a $2 million grand prize by playing the “$2,000,000 50X Cashword” scratch ticket. He purchased his lucky ticket at a 7-Eleven in East Boston. Espinosa chose the cash option, bringing home $1.3 million before taxes. His heartfelt decision to use his winnings to help his family shows how these prizes can lift entire communities, not just the winner.
In another standout win, Sammantha Kheav-Pech of Lynn scored the first $1 million prize in the new “$15,000,000 Colossal Millions” instant ticket game. She picked up her ticket at a Gloucester 7-Eleven and also chose the lump sum. Her story demonstrates how new games continue to create life-changing opportunities.
The Mass Lottery continually introduces new games that appeal to a wide audience. One popular choice is the “$2,000,000 50X Cashword” ticket, which launched in mid-2024. As of May 2025, only one additional $2 million prize in this game remains unclaimed. According to masslive.com’s lottery coverage, there are also several $1 million and $100,000 prizes still available across ticket types.
Regular draws like Mass Cash also create frequent winners. On a recent Thursday, hundreds of ticket holders claimed prizes over $600 across the state, with dozens in cities like Boston and Springfield. These regular wins keep excitement high among lottery fans.
Many recent big wins came from tickets bought at neighborhood convenience stores. For example, both the East Boston and Gloucester 7-Eleven locations have sold major prize-winning tickets this spring. Stores that sell these tickets also benefit by earning bonuses, adding value to local businesses.
The Mass Lottery does more than offer big jackpots. A large portion of all ticket sales supports local aid in cities and towns. When you play, you support schools, infrastructure, and important services in Massachusetts.
