NH Man Wins $1M From Powerball Ticket Bought In MA
MASSACHUSETTS — A New Hampshire man is $1 million richer after purchasing a winning ticket for a recent Powerball drawing at a Massachusetts gas station.
Michael O’Brien of Nashua, New Hampshire, won the prize after the first five numbers on his Quic Pic ticket matched those selected in the Dec. 2 drawing. He claimed his prize on Thursday at the
Massachusetts State Lottery’s Dorchester headquarters, officials said in a news release.
O’Brien purchased the winning ticket at a Mobil gas station located at 940 Andover St. in Tewksbury. The store receives a $10,000 bonus for the sale of the ticket.
This was the second time in a little over a year that a New Hampshire resident won $1 million after purchasing a Powerball ticket in Massachusetts. That winning ticket was sold by A.L. Prime Energy at 2083 Bridge St. in Dracut.
O’Brien said he enjoys playing all draw games offered by the Massachusetts Lottery and he plans to put his winnings towards his three grandchildren’s education.
