A winning Keno ticket worth $120,000 was sold at a liquor store in Nantucket on Saturday.

The ticket was purchased at Old South Liquors.

In Keno, players select up to 12 numbers spots to play, and then choose numbers between 1 and 80 to fill each spot. Each number spot offers unique prizes and odds of winning.

Players then choose how much they want to wager on each drawing — between $1 and $20 — and how many drawings they want to use the same numbers for. The same numbers can be played in up to 30 consecutive drawings, and drawings take place every day every three minutes from 5:04 a.m. to 1:01 a.m.

Players can also multiply their prizes up to 10 times by marking the Keno Bonus. Keno Bonus is not available on the 10 spot, 11 spot or 12 spot.

Overall, at least 321 prizes worth $600 or more were won or claimed in Massachusetts on Saturday, including four in Springfield, six in Worcester and 19 in Boston.

The Massachusetts State Lottery releases a full list of winning tickets every day. The list only includes winning tickets worth more than $600.

The two largest lottery prizes won so far in 2025 were each worth $15 million. One of the prizes was from a winning “Diamond Deluxe” scratch ticket sold in Holyoke, and the other was from a “300X” scratch ticket sold on Cape Cod.

Massachusetts residents don’t have to wait until Fourth of July to see firework shows.

Fireworks are illegal in Massachusetts for those without a certification or licensing. So, you’ll have to leave it to the professionals.

Between 2019 and 2023, officials said Massachusetts medical facilities treated more than 200 people for burns and other injuries associated with fireworks. Two dozen people were treated for severe burn injuries that covered 5% or more of their body.

Slots for primary-care training, including family medicine, pediatrics, and internal medicine, also increased by 877 positions this year, offering up to 20,300 positions for the nation. This seems like promising news for a city like Boston, where the wait for a new patient to access primary care is at least 40 days, twice as long as in 15 other studied cities, and up to half of the primary-care workforce is close to retiring age. The most recent primary-care dashboard from Massachusetts Health Quality Partners, a measurement and reporting nonprofit organization, shows that these shortages are driving up visits to emergency departments, spiking Massachusetts’ total cost on health care, and disproportionately affecting low-income people and people of color, further aggravating our state’s health inequities.

The small increase in slots to train future primary-care physicians nationally will not come close to fixing our primary-care crisis in Massachusetts, however. In a state that has more physicians per capita than any other in the United States, only 22 percent of Massachusetts medical school graduates were providing primary care six to eight years later, as of 2023.

Further, not all primary-care training programs are equal in terms of generating practicing primary-care physicians. According to a recent study, 97 percent of family-medicine residents conclude their training in primary care, whereas only 54 percent of pediatric residents and 35 percent of internal medicine residents conclude their training in primary care. In other words, the vast majority of new primary-care physicians in the United States are family-medicine physicians. Given the robust training of family-medicine physicians, including caring for prenatal, postpartum, pediatric, adult, and geriatric patients, this workforce is crucial.

However, while 13.4 percent of first-year residency positions were in family medicine nationally, Massachusetts only provides 3.9 percent of its first-year residency slots in family medicine. Given that studies show the vast majority (68.7 percent) of family-medicine graduates continue to work in the state where they trained after graduation, this anemic number is a poor harbinger for our future.

A significant barrier to training more family-medicine physicians is the lack of academic medical support. Apart from Boston Medical Center, there are no family-medicine departments in Boston’s academic medical centers, where the majority of graduate medical education occurs. The rationale often cited is that it is the responsibility of community-based institutions to train future primary-care and family-medicine doctors. However, it is exceedingly difficult for community-based hospitals and community health centers to take on this responsibility with already tight profit margins, a lack of internal infrastructure to support residency programs, and traditional residency program funding flowing to academic medical centers.

If Massachusetts wants to have adequate access to primary-care physicians, it needs to prioritize and organize state-level partnerships between large academic institutions and community-based institutions, particularly community health centers, to develop infrastructure and funding for new family-medicine residency programs. Academic medical centers must include investments in developing family medicine as part of their larger primary-care investment plans. Legislators must also reinstitute Medicaid Graduate Medical Education funding in Massachusetts that is targeted to support family-medicine training programs. Currently, Massachusetts is one of only seven states that does not fund residency programs through this program.

Furthermore, to attract more motivated and capable medical students to enter the field of family medicine, health care leaders, educators, and policy makers must work to make the job more sustainable. This includes actions such as statewide policies increasing reimbursements for family-medicine services from all payers, streamlining the number of health care metrics family-medicine physicians are accountable for, and reducing the administrative burden of family-medicine physicians by accelerating the use of AI to complete forms for items such as durable medical equipment, prior authorizations, and messages generated through electronic medical systems.

We are grateful to Governor Maura Healey for her recent remarks on prioritizing primary care; to the Legislature for the development of the Primary Care Task Force, which will focus on primary care access, delivery, and financial sustainability; and to the recent Massachusetts legislative hearings on Senator Cindy Friedman’s Primary Care for You bill. However, we cannot wait for the group’s recommendations to start addressing our state’s primary-care crisis. Legislators, payers, hospitals, and community health centers must work now to strengthen and grow the family-medicine workforce, build a stronger pipeline, and pay for a health care system that will build a healthier Commonwealth.
