John Swan, of Greenfield, collected his seven-figure win from the “$1,000,000 Merry & Bright," game, a $5 scratch-off ticket. It's part of the six holiday-themed games the lottery launched earlier this year.
He decided to take the lump-sum payment of $650,000 rather than the annuity.
Swan bought the ticket at Orange General Store at 217 East Main St. in Orange. The store will receive a $10,000 bonus for the sale.
