No wonder I never win anything big on the NY scratch-off tickets, the biggest second prize on any scratch-off ticket right now is only $200,000, only 4 second prizes available on that one, that really stinks compared to 65 one million dollar prizes on that Mass. ticket! I always buy tickets at NY Lottery headquarters, the most I've won is $40.00 on a scratch-off! Now that I realize the NY scratch-offs have such paltry second prizes, I'll stop buying them.Congrats to the winner

Sounds like he stepped in some luck before cashing that first ticket.

Kinda like being in the right place at the right time.

Congrats

now i see why residents bad mouth the tennessee lottery. why would an older player buy scratch tickets and end up being stuck with a 20 year annuity payout. not that it would be the end of the world if it happened but older players are willing to suck up the loss and take the lump sum in most cases. not in tn though. eeks.

In Tennessee if you win 1 million or more on a scratcher then you must take it over 20-25 years. That sucks. If you win 1 million in powerball you get it all after taxes or take it over so many years. Just not fair on scratchers.

Did I read that right? 65 million dollar prizes being offered? ?? That's got to be a $30 ticket at least

a million turned into 434,000 that he could deposit into bank since the feds took out their 28% and the state took their 5% right off the top. if he files he will get some of that back maybe next year. probably in this case should have take the 20 year's worth of 50,000 a year which would have only gotten him 33,500 annually.

Congratulation to Chi Chan on both wins. It not every day you get to claim a

prize at the Lottery Headquarter two days in a row.

Isn't that what the Hot Lotto did? well maybe not all prizes but the jackpot I think is.

I'm telling you, man.

All Prizes Are Tax Paid. Should be the next advertised incentive for players.

Us regular players, here, play no matter what. But, I see this coming down the road.

Any comments on that

What a scam. A million should mean a million regardless.

Isn't that horrible?

You really, really need to win something significant to be considered ahead .

I hate that.

I think all headquarters are lucky.

WTG.

More good luck.

nope, that's the base reduction in the value of the win if you choose the cash option. at least another 33% will be requested by federal and state tax vultures by next april.

Yea who wrote this article. Also says he opted to receive the prize in a one time cash payment of $650,000 before taxes . I think thats after taxes.

Lottery winner wins again with $1M scratch ticket at lottery headquarters

Lottery Post — Fri, 29 Apr 2016 22:14:12 GMT

A Medford, Massachusetts, man cashing in a $1,000 scratch ticket won another $1 million after he stopped to buy another ticket in the lobby of the Massachusetts State Lottery's Braintree headquarters.

Chi Chan arrived in Braintree on Wednesday to redeem his $1,000 winner. On his way out Chan bought a $30 ticket at the vending machine inside lottery headquarters.

A short time after, Chan was at the bank when he scratched the ticket and found he had won $1 million.
