A man from Massachusetts just turned his unusual lottery routine into a massive $300,000 payday — and the way he plans to spend the money is warming hearts. His lucky process, which many would call strange, has now paid off in a life-changing way.
Winning big in the lottery is rare, but this lucky local made it happen with a strategy that’s anything but ordinary. Now, his unique system is getting attention — not just for the win, but for what he plans to do next.
The Winning Ticket
According to Massachusetts State Lottery officials, the man — whose name was not released to the public — purchased the winning “$300,000 Cashword” scratch ticket at S&S Market in Boston.
He said he uses a specific method when choosing his tickets, which involves waiting for a certain time of day, buying from smaller local stores, and always trusting his gut when picking the exact card. “It’s a weird process,” he admitted. “But it’s worked better than I ever thought it would.”
How He Plans to Spend It
After claiming the prize at lottery headquarters, the man didn’t talk about flashy purchases or vacations. Instead, he shared something that touched a lot of hearts.
“I want to help my family first. My parents are getting older, and they’ve done everything for me,” he said.
He also mentioned setting some of the money aside for his kids’ future education and maybe upgrading his home. “No big cars or yachts. I just want to make life easier for the people I love,” he added.
Store That Sold the Ticket Gets a Bonus
The store that sold the winning ticket — S&S Market — will also receive a $3,000 bonus, as part of the lottery’s policy for major prize sales. The shop’s owners were excited about the win and said they hope this will bring more customers their way.
“We’re so happy someone from the neighborhood won,” the store clerk said. “He’s a good guy, and he deserves it.”
Advice to Future Players
When asked what advice he has for others, the winner said, “Don’t overdo it, play for fun, and if you’ve got a little lucky feeling — go with it.”
Though he admits there’s no guarantee, he believes staying positive and thinking smart made the difference for him.
