A heartwarming story emerged from Massachusetts, where a man’s loyalty paid off in a big way. This gentleman had been purchasing lottery tickets from the same store for two decades, and it was there that he won a whopping $1 million prize. This just goes to show that sometimes, staying true to a certain place or person can lead to unexpected and delightful rewards.
According to Massachusetts State Lottery officials, William Lally from Roslindale has been a loyal customer of Roslindale Food Mart on Washington Street for the last 20 years, purchasing lottery tickets from them.
Recently, his persistence finally paid off. He purchased a $20 100X Cashword ticket worth $5,000,000 and scratched off a $1 million prize.
Instead of opting for annual payouts, Lally decided to receive his entire prize money of $650,000 (pre-tax) as a single lump-sum payment.
The store he loved the most was rewarded with a bonus of $10,000 for selling the lucky ticket.
