In a stroke of luck, a fortunate player of the Massachusetts State Lottery has won a whopping $100,000 prize from a mere $1 ticket purchased at a bar in Salem. The ticket, sold at Lafayette Associates on Broadway, emerged victorious in the "Mass Cash" game drawing held on Saturday, August 5. This exciting news was confirmed by the state lottery's official website.

Participating in the game requires players to purchase tickets for $1 each. The highest prize that players can potentially win is an impressive $100,000. To stand a chance, players must carefully select five numbers ranging from 1 to 35. There are three different prizes up for grabs, depending on the number of matching numbers.

If all five numbers chosen by a "Mass Cash" player align perfectly with the numbers drawn, they will be rewarded with the grand prize of $100,000. Matching four numbers secures a prize of $250, while matching three numbers earns a more modest prize of $10. It is worth noting that "Mass Cash" drawings take place daily at 9 p.m., ensuring ample opportunities for players to test their luck.

The recent win in Salem is just one of over 200 winning lottery tickets that were claimed or sold in Massachusetts on that Saturday alone. These tickets were valued at a minimum of $600, with seven of them being claimed in Springfield and five in Worcester. The Massachusetts State Lottery diligently releases a comprehensive list of all winning tickets on a daily basis. However, this list exclusively features tickets that have a value exceeding $600.
