At his restaurant table in Dracut, John Boyce of Groveland discovered he was the first person to win the massive $10 million prize in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s “$10,000,000 Premier Cash” game.

He bought the $20 instant scratch off ticket at his favorite restaurant, proving once again that luck can strike when least expected, even while you’re eating.

Boyce, a machinist by profession, experienced this extraordinary stroke of luck while dining at one of his favorite local spots.

It was here in the restaurant that he decided to try his luck with three lottery tickets.

The first two didn’t bring the outcome he hoped for, but as they say, ‘third time's the charm’.

The third ticket revealed the staggering $10 million prize, a moment that must have felt like a dream.

He chose to receive his winnings as a lump sum, and Boyce is set to receive $6,500,000 before taxes are deducted.

Speaking about his plans, Boyce said that his immediate focus will be to pay off his mortgage, a significant step towards financial freedom.

But his goals don’t stop there. He also intends to treat himself to a brand new car and wisely invest a portion of his winnings, ensuring a stable and comfortable future.

Interestingly, Boyce’s win is not just a life-changing event for him but also a boon for the place where he bought his winning ticket.

Yujo, located at 511 Merrimack Ave. in Dracut, is the lucky store that sold the golden ticket. They are set to receive a $50,000 bonus for their role in his exciting win.
