George Bouchard purchased his tickets at American Legion Morrisette Post 294 in Quincy, where he is the Post Commander. The post will receive a $10,000 bonus for the sale.
Bouchard said he wants to buy himself a new car and a safe reliable ride for his daughter because he wants to protect his grandchild.
Two $250,000 winners have come forward to claim their prizes as well.
Lisa Malone of Springfield claimed her ticket on Tuesday, Jan. 2, a day after the winners were announced. She said the money came at a time when she needed it.
She purchased her ticket at Chapin East Variety Store in Ludlow.
Alexandra Chapman of Foxborough said she plans to save the $250,000 she won in the raffle. She purchased her ticket at The Country Store in Foxborough.
Two other quarter million tickets have not been claimed. The owners have a year to collect their prizes.
