Massachusetts man scoops $2m payout - holiday next

• Robert McKenna from Marshfield won $2 million from a scratch ticket
• The game he won from was called "$2,000,000 Stacked"
• He chose a lump sum payout of $1.3 million, following in the example set by other lottery winners

A holiday is naturally up on many lottery winners’ bucket lists after scooping up a life-altering amount, and this is precisely what a Massachusetts man intends to do with his $2-million prize.

He purchased the ticket at the Home Spirits on 227 Columbia Road in Hanover, and the venue will also get its customary 1% selling bonus - $20,000 in this case.

Identified as Robert McKenna from Marshfield, the man won from a scratch ticket game, fittingly called "$2,000,000 Stacked." McKenna has opted for the road most winners do and decided to scoop the prize outright as a single lump payment, resulting in $1.3-million.

This is not the first time a big lottery jackpot dropped in Massachusetts, with the Bay State producing a huge winner in mid-March. Back then, a ticket sold at a Cumberland Farms gas station ended up winning a $25-million prize.

The winner preferred to remain anonymous on that occasion, and took home a lump sum payment worth $16,250,000 after all due taxes.

Another person won $250,000 in February. The win occurred on the $250,000 Winter Winnings scratch-off ticket game.
