A Massachusetts Lottery player has claimed the last 26 Winning tickets of “Mass Cash” sold in a September 2024 Drawing.
But prizes, usually valued at $ 100,000 each when a “cash” money winner matches the five numbers of his ticket, will not be the full amount.
The XYZ of Boston Trust, represented by the Catalan Ombudsman David Spilne, said that the remaining 24 awards won on September 27, 2024, drawing on February 6.
Each of the 24 prizes was worth $ 88,856, which meant total gains at $ 2,132,544, about $ 267,456 less than if they had a value of $ 100,000.
Four of these 24 tickets were sold to a Newia energy in Allston. The other 20 were sold to the Harbourpoint liquid Buy Dorchester.
The other two of the 26 “Mass Cash” awards won during the September drawing claimed in December 2024 by Wellesley Man Aldo Voci, who also bought his tickets at The Nouria Energy in Allston.
Voci also received an amount of prizes less than $ 88,856 for each of their two tickets, which coincided with the five numbers.
Why did the prize amount reduce?
The 26 winning tickets sold in September were the third largest amount of Grand Prix winning tickets that were ever sold in a single drawing for “Mass”, according to the Massachusetts State Lottery.
But none of the awards were evaluated with the usual amount of the Grand Prix of $ 100,000.
This is due to the fact that the total number of prizes obtained in the drawing was more than 1,000% of the clean sales of the drawing, told Massachusetts the lottery of the state of Massachusetts.
Therefore, for this drawing, the amounts of the prize were determined “for a formula”, according to a statement from the lottery.
There were also 63 sold tickets that coincided with four numbers to win $ 222, instead of the regular $ 250, and 2,944 tickets that won $ 8 instead of $ 10.
The drawings of “Mass Cash” are made every night at 9 pm and tickets, or games for each drawing, cost $ 1 each. Players choose five numbers between 1-35 for their ticket.
