Barbara Fay, of Eastham, won the seven-figure prize playing the $10 scratch-off game "Emeralds 50X." All of the $4 million grand prize tickets have been claimed in the game, but one $1 million ticket remains in circulation. 

Fay said she bought her ticket from dispenser number 12. She chose that one because her son was born in December. 

She elected to take the lump-sum payment of $650,000 (before taxes) rather than the annuity. 

Fay wants to buy a new car and help her mother with the money. 

She bought the ticket at Cumberland Farms at 4460 State Highway Route 6 in Eastham. The store will get a $10,000 bonus for the sale.
