Paul Hart, of Chelmsford, landed the payday playing the "Celtics Banner 18" game, a $10 scratch-off ticket in honor of the team's 18th championship.
He took the lump-sum payment of $650,000 (before taxes) rather than the annuity.
Hart bought his winning ticket at Corner Cupboard, 149 Gorham St. in Chelmsford. The store will get a $10,000 bonus for the sale.
The Celtics Banner 18 instant ticket includes four more grand prizes of $1 million. The game’s second-chance drawings give players the chance to enter non-winning tickets for a variety of Celtics experiential and merchandise prizes, including a chance at a $1 million prize, Celtics suite and all access experiences, game tickets, custom jerseys, and Celtics prize packs.
