Someone who stopped into a Brighton 7‑Eleven on Saturday is now the owner of a $100,000 Mass Cash ticket, whether they realize it or not. The same drawing also produced a second $100,000 winner from Harvard Market in Malden. As of publication time, neither player has stepped forward publicly to claim their six‑figure prize.
Two Big Winners, Two Corner Stores
Saturday’s Mass Cash drawing produced a pair of top prizes worth $100,000 each, according to MassLive. One winning ticket was sold at the Brighton 7‑Eleven, while the other came from Harvard Market in Malden. In that roundup, both wins were still listed as pending claims.
How Mass Cash Works
The Mass Cash game costs $1 per play and asks players to pick five numbers between 1 and 35, with drawings held twice daily at 2 p.m. and 9 p.m., per the Massachusetts State Lottery. Matching all five numbers lands the flat $100,000 top prize, with odds of roughly 1 in 324,632. Overall odds of winning any prize are about 1 in 72, a straightforward setup that helps keep the game popular with regulars.
How This Win Stacks Up
MassLive reported that at least 276 prizes worth $600 or more were claimed statewide on Saturday, including 34 claims in Boston and several others in Springfield and Worcester. The outlet also noted that the largest claimed prize in Massachusetts so far this year is a $25,000,000 Mega Money ticket sold at a Cumberland Farms in Turners Falls.
What Winners Need To Do Next
Whoever holds the winning tickets is urged to sign the back, stash them somewhere safe and follow the Lottery’s formal claim process. Under Mass Cash rules, cash prizes must be claimed within one year of the drawing date, according to the Massachusetts State Lottery, which provides full instructions for how to collect.
