Emanuel Correia won the seven-figure prize for playing the "300X" game, a $30 scratch-off ticket. 

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

Correia plans to buy a home with his winnings. 

He bought the ticket at Star 50 Convenience at 303 Geneva Ave. in Dorchester. The store will get a $10,000 bonus for the sale.
