BOSTON (WHDH) - A Dorchester man can thank the Massachusetts State Lottery for a birthday present he will never forget.
Ricky Ricko is the fourth $1 million prize winner in the lottery’s “$1,000,000 Payout” scratch ticket game.
He bought his winning ticket on his birthday at Sulgrave News on Washington Street in Boston.
The store will receive a $10,000 bonus for its sale.
Ricko opted to receive his prize in the form of a one-time payment of $650,000 (before taxes).
Two additional $1 million prizes are still unclaimed in the $5 instant game.
