A
Massachusetts man got the shock of his life when he went to pick up his lottery
winnings last week. Jeremy Locket thought he would be picking up a check for
$50,000, but Massachusetts Lottery officials informed him his Lifetime Spectacular
scratchcard would ensure many more checks to come because he
had won $50,000 a year, for life.
Locket and
his wife, Rabina, were so overjoyed by the news that they began doing a victory
dance around the lobby. "They went nuts," a lottery representative
said.
Locket
decided to take his winnings as a lump sum and will receive $650,000, minus
taxes.
