Julia Da Rosa, of New Bedford, won the seven-figure prize playing the “$1,000,000 Ultimate 7," a $5 scratch-off game.
Da Rosa chose the lump-sum payment of $650,000 (before taxes) rather than the annuity. She said she's planning to buy a home with the cash.
She purchased the winning ticket at Petro Mart 2, 258 Orchard St. in New Bedford. The store will get a $10,000 bonus for the sale.
