Hampden County resident, Cheryl Cormier, of Ludlow, has won the $1 million prize on Friday, July 2, while playing the instant ticket game, according to Massachusetts Lottery officials.
Originally thinking her ticket was not a winner, Cormier double-checked it using the Mass Lottery Mobile App and discovered it was indeed a winning ticket.
She received a one-time payment of $1,000,000 for her prize (before taxes) and plans to purchase a new car with her winnings, lottery officials said.
Her winning ticket was purchased at Pride Station and Store located at 478 Center Street in Ludlow.
The store will receive a $10,000 bonus for the sale of the ticket.
