A Marshfield man doesn't plan on splurging too much with his newfound $1 million windfall from the Massachusetts State Lottery. He wants to invest his money.

Joel Laffin won the seven-figure sum by playing the $10 scratch-off game "$4,000,000 Monopoly Doubler." Six $1 million tickets have not been found in the game, and three $4 million cards remain in circulation. 

Laffin took the lump sum payment of $650,000 (before taxes) rather than the annuity. 

He bought the winning ticket on the Fourth of July at Hubbard’s Cupboard at 29 Main St. in Marshfield. The store will receive a $10,000 bonus for the sale.
