Deborah Gauthier, of Ludlow, won the seven-figure prize playing the Massachusetts State Lottery's "$300X," a $30 scratch-off game. Four $1 million winning tickets remain in the game and two $15 million prizes haven't been found.
Gauthier chose to take the lump sum payment of $650,000 (before taxes) rather than the annuity. She said she plans to invest the money.
She bought the ticket at a Mobil gas station at 341 West St. in Ludlow. The store will get a $10,000 bonus for the sale.
