Bacilio Gomez collected his seven-figure payday on Tuesday, Oct. 1. The "Jaws" themed game launched in March to capitalize on the famed blockbuster's links to Martha's Vineyard, where much of the movie was filmed.
Gomez took the lump sum payment of $650,000 (before taxes) rather than the annuity.
He said he plans to buy a house with that money.
Gomez bought the ticket at M&M Convenience store at 30 Rockdale Ave. in New Bedford. The store will get a $10,000 bonus for the sale.
