BOURNE, MA — The early bird gets the worm, or in this case, wins $1 million. Pamela Mueller, of Bourne, on Aug. 11, went to pick up her takeout order. She was early, so she decided to head over to a nearby Plymouth gas station to buy a couple of scratch tickets. And one of those tickets was a big winner. The Cape Cod woman hit the $1 million prize in the Massachusetts State Lottery's "Cash to Go" instant ticket game. She chose to take the cash option for her prize and received $650,000 (before taxes). Mueller said she plans to buy a new car with some of the prize money. Mueller bought the winning ticket at Shell station on Home Depot Drive in Plymouth. The store will get a $10,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
