New Yorker visits Mass., wins $1 million

Add another log on the fire of the feud between Massachusetts and New York.

A man from New York was visiting his friend in Massachusetts, played the lottery, and won $1 million. 

American Food Markets, located at 1187 Blue Hill Ave. in Mattapan, sold a lottery ticket for the 100 X Cash scratch-off ticket game to Jose Carrasco of Corona, New York, according to the Massachusetts Lottery. The shop will be receiving a $10,000 bonus for selling it. 

Carrasco, who works as a baker, claimed his prize on Thursday and elected to receive a one-time cash payment of $650,000 before taxes. 

He has no plans on how he’ll use his money yet, he told the Massachusetts Lottery. 

The New York man snagged the last $1 million prize from the $10 scratch ticket game. However, one lucky lottery player can still claim the $4 million grand prize remaining to be claimed as of Sept. 15.
