Alan D'Allessandro, of Worcester, won the payday playing the “$5,000,000 100X Cashword” game, a $20 scratch-off ticket.

D'Allessandro chose to receive the lump sum payment of $650,000 (before taxes) rather than the annuity, which would have paid the full amount over 20 years.

He bought the winning ticket at Edgemere Mini Mart, 1 Pineland Ave. #9 in Shrewsbury. The store receives a $10,000 bonus for the sale
