Solano Perez won the seven-figure check playing the “Billion Dollar Extravaganza," the state's first $50 scratch-off game. Three $2 million prizes and two $1 million jackpots remain in circulation for the game. 

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

He bought the ticket at Sam’s Food Stores at 367 Ashley Blvd. in New Bedford. The store will get a $10,000 bonus for the sale.
