A Massachusetts man had an incredible stroke of luck just three days following telling his employer that he planned to retire.
On July 20, West Boylston resident Paul Bashaw walked away with a whopping $1 million prize in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s $5 million 100x Cashword Instant Ticket game.
The week began with Bashaw revealing his intention to retire at the end of the following week to his employer of 20 years. Later that same week she bought the winning ticket. On July 28, she claimed his prize at Massachusetts Lottery headquarters in Dorchester.
The experts have tips so that luck is on your side.
In a press release to the Mass. State Lottery Commission, Bashaw shared: “I told my wife that there were three things in life that I never thought I would see happen: the Patriots winning the Super Bowl, putting a hole in one five years ago, and winning the lottery, and now I’ve done all three.
After opting for a cash option, Bashaw received a generous one-time payment of $650,000, before taxes. With exciting plans ahead, the now-retired trucker, who will turn 66 later this year, plans to travel on his earnings.
Bashaw purchased his winning ticket at J & J Variety, located at 360 West Boylston St. in West Boylston. As a result of the sale, the store will receive a bonus of $10,000.
