TEWKSBURY, Mass. — Albert Boumel Jr. is likely very glad he recently visited Massachusetts, and bought a lottery ticket here.
Boumel, of Derry, New Hampshire, won a $2 million prize in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s “Billion Dollar Extravaganza” instant ticket game, lottery officials said Tuesday.
Boumel chose the cash option on his prize and received a one-time payment of $1.3 million, before taxes.
He told lottery officials that he plans to use his winnings to help his children, go on vacation, and upgrade his truck.
He purchased his winning ticket at Tewksbury Petroil, 365 Main St. in Tewksbury.
The store receives a $20,000 bonus for its sale of this ticket.
