Lucky Lanesborough Resident Hits the Jackpot with $1M Win

In a stroke of luck, a Lanesborough resident clinched a cool $1 million prize playing the Massachusetts State Lottery’s “300X” $30 instant ticket game.

Marcia Paris, the fortunate winner, had her fate decided when her father bought the ticket before her, followed by another customer, leaving her with the winning ticket.

Opting for a lump-sum payment of $650,000 before taxes, Paris plans to invest in building cabins on her property and treat herself to a well-deserved vacation in Aruba. The winning ticket was snagged at Mobil on Main Street in Lanesborough, earning the store a tidy $10,000 bonus.
