Northbridge Lottery Winner Scores 1 Million Dollars On a Scratch Ticket We Suggested

A Northbridge lottery winner scored 1 million dollars on a scratch ticket we suggested recently. Lisa Smith of Northbridge bought her winning ticket at Cumberland Farms on Providence Rd. in Northbridge. That store will get a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. So what was the winning ticket? Of course it was one that we have in our list of "scratch tickets with the best odds of winning." (Check out the list below).

So what does Lisa plan on doing with the one million prize? First, she decided to take one lump sum. This means instead of getting payments annually, she'll actually get a one-time payment of $650,000 before taxes. Smart move if you want a significant amount of money now. It will come in handy for what Lisa intends to do with it. Lisa wants to take her kids to Disney World and get a new car.

Which ticket was the winner? If you pay attention to our posts each month, we list the Massachusetts scratch tickets with the best odds of winning. This is all based on the Massachusetts lottery website so it's public information. And this particular ticket is ALWAYS in the top 10. Lisa won the million on the “$2,000,000 50X Cashword” $10 instant ticket game. This is a ticket we've suggested in months prior as the odds of winning are 1 in 3.26. A pretty wise investment: $10 to win a million.

It's YOUR turn. Take a look below at the Massachusetts scratch tickets that give you the BEST odds to win in the month of March. And keep coming back because new tickets are always being introduced like Jaws coming soon.

Feeling lucky? Are you a gambler? Maybe you want to take a ride to your local casino. Here in Massachusetts there are a few like Encore Boston Harbor, Plainridge Park and MGM Springfield where you can press your luck. But maybe you don’t want to take a ride several miles to win some money. The key to winning some serious cash is right down the street at your local convenience store.

Scratch tickets are all the rage here in Massachusetts. Back in 2020, we spent the most money out of any state in the country on lottery tickets. The average lottery player in Massachusetts spent about $1000 annually, on tickets. That’s about $300 more than any state.
What if you knew going into that store which lottery ticket was going to win? That may take the fun out of gambling, but you’d be more apt to buy said ticket, correct? Well, that answer is right at the click of a button. The Massachusetts state lottery has a website where they literally put the odds of winning on each ticket. Knowing this information should make you better informed before buying your next ticket. That is, if you want to win.

Odds of winning are typically printed on the back of each lottery ticket. But we are going to do the work for you. Now, as you know, new tickets are being introduced each month. So, you have to make sure you’re updating your list each month because odds can change month to month. These are the tickets with the best odds in March.
