Yoselinne Martinez won $1 million playing the “$4,000,000 Bonus Loot," a $10 scratch-off game. 

Martinez chose to take the lump-sum payment of $650,000 (before taxes) rather than the annuity. She said she'll use that money to buy a home. 

Martinez bought the ticket in Newtown Food Market at 87 Medford St. in Charlestown. The store will get a $10,00 bonus for the sale.
