The Retirement Trust of Natick claimed the $25,000 a year for life prize that they had won on May 17, 2023. Winning tickets are only good for a year, and after that, they turn back into pumpkins.

The winner chose to take the lump sum payment of $390,000 (before taxes) rather than the $25,000 annuity.

The winner purchased the ticket at J Convenience Store & Laundromat at 229 N. Main St. in Natick. The store will get a $5,000 bonus for the sale.

The multi-state Lucky For Life drawings are held nightly.
