Quincy Store Sells $1 Million Mega Millions Ticket, Jackpot Grows to Over $790 Million

The Mega Millions drawing was last night and lucky for us, there was no jackpot winner. However, there was one million dollar winner right here in Massachusetts. Kam Man Food in Quincy sold a million dollar ticket from last night's drawing. So if you purchased a ticket from that store, you better double check it. You'd hate to be one of those people who threw it away. Or God forbid you assumed you didn't win anything and just tossed it.

So now the jackpot grows.  Are you already strategizing for Friday's drawing? It seems that everyone has their own way of deciding their numbers. A lot of people go by the easiest, the “quick pick” which picks the random numbers for you. Then there are other people who put great care in picking specific numbers. They use their anniversary date, their kid’s birthdays, and even numbers that come to them in a dream. Apparently about 70-80% of people do “quick picks.” About the same percentage of people who win use “quick picks.” So I guess it doesn’t matter which you decide to do. However you pick your tickets, it’s always fun to dream about winning Powerball or Mega Millions. You never know if you could be the lucky person to buy that $2 dollar ticket.

So as you get ready to purchase your Mega Millions ticket for Friday's drawing, why not get yourself some scratch tickets too? We've put together a list of the scratch tickets with the best odds to win for the month of March. Best of luck!

Feeling lucky? Are you a gambler? Maybe you want to take a ride to your local casino. Here in Massachusetts there are a few like Encore Boston Harbor, Plainridge Park and MGM Springfield where you can press your luck. But maybe you don’t want to take a ride several miles to win some money. The key to winning some serious cash is right down the street at your local convenience store.

Scratch tickets are all the rage here in Massachusetts. Back in 2020, we spent the most money out of any state in the country on lottery tickets. The average lottery player in Massachusetts spent about $1000 annually, on tickets. That’s about $300 more than any state.
What if you knew going into that store which lottery ticket was going to win? That may take the fun out of gambling, but you’d be more apt to buy said ticket, correct? Well, that answer is right at the click of a button. The Massachusetts state lottery has a website where they literally put the odds of winning on each ticket. Knowing this information should make you better informed before buying your next ticket. That is, if you want to win.

Odds of winning are typically printed on the back of each lottery ticket. But we are going to do the work for you. Now, as you know, new tickets are being introduced each month. So, you have to make sure you’re updating your list each month because odds can change month to month. These are the tickets with the best odds in March.
