PEABODY, MA — The Shaw's supermarket on Andover Street in Peabody sold a $1 million lottery ticket.
Michael Baldassari, of Lynn, won the $1 million prize in the "$10,000,000 Mega Money" instant ticket game.
The Massachusetts State Lottery said Baldassari chose the one-time cash option and will get about $650,000 before taxes, which he said he will use to pay off his mortgage.
