George Bouchard purchased his tickets at American Legion Morrisette Post 294 in Quincy, where he is the Post Commander. The post will receive a $10,000 bonus for the sale.
Bouchard said he wants to buy himself a new car and a safe reliable ride for his daughter because he wants to protect his grandchild.
Two $250,000 winners have come forward to claim their prizes as well.
