In a nail-biting turn of events, a $1 million Powerball ticket sold at the Metro Mini Mart in Watertown was claimed with just three weeks left on the clock before expiration. The lucky draw occurred on August 21, 2023.
The Massachusetts State Lottery confirmed that the substantial prize was secured by a trust, represented by trustee Elizabeth Caruso, at the lottery’s headquarters in Dorchester this Wednesday.
Had the prize gone unclaimed, the funds would have been allocated across various public initiatives, contributing to the Commonwealth’s net profits.
