$1M Lottery Jackpot: Gloucester Man Knows How He'll Spend His Major Payday

Edward Fortado won the seven-figure payday by playing the $50 scratch-off game "Lifetime Millions."

Fortado chose to take the lump sum payment of $650,000 (before taxes) rather than the annuity. 

He said he would invest his winnings. 

Fortado bought the ticket at 7-Eleven at 48 Maplewood Ave. in Gloucester. The store will get a $10,000 bonus for the sale.
