Lottery Winner Wins Again With $1M Scratch Ticket At Lottery Headquarters

BOSTON (CBS) –A Medford man cashing in a $1,000 scratch ticket won another $1 million after he stopped to buy another ticket in the lobby of the Massachusetts State Lottery's Braintree headquarters.

Chi Chan arrived in Braintree on Wednesday to case in his $1,000 winner. On his way out Chan bought a $30 ticket at the vending machine inside lottery headquarters.

A short time after, Chan was at the bank when he scratched the ticket and found he had won $1 million.

On Thursday, Chan returned to Braintree to cash in his latest winnings.

The Medford resident opted to receive the prize in a one-time cash payment of $650,000 before taxes.

"Ultimate Millions," the game Chan won his larger prize on, had only gone on sale a day before he won the $1 million.
