Weymouth’s Shaw’s supermarket just became the stuff of lottery legend, after selling a $1 million winning Massachusetts State Lottery scratch ticket that was claimed last Thursday by a Quincy-based trust. The Wild Knights Trust chose to take the lump-sum option on the prize and will collect $650,000 before taxes instead of stretching the money out over 20 years. The windfall is the fourth of seven $1 million top prizes available in the Lottery’s 100X instant game.
According to The Patriot Ledger, trustee David Spillane claimed the ticket on behalf of the Wild Knights Trust of Quincy and confirmed the winning scratcher was sold at the Shaw’s at 610 Middle Street. The outlet reports that the trust went with the one-time cash payment rather than the advertised annuity and notes that the store will receive a $10,000 retailer bonus for selling the lucky ticket.
About the 100X game
The 100X instant ticket debuted in June 2025 and comes loaded with multiple high-tier prizes, including seven $1 million top prizes, according to the Massachusetts State Lottery and public game listings. Game-tracker ScratchCheck details the game’s launch date, prize tiers and current prize counts, while the Lottery posts the official odds and remaining-prize information on its winners page.
Those public prize counts let players and retailers see how many top prizes are still out there as winning tickets are claimed and validated.
Payout choice and retailer bonus
Per The Patriot Ledger, the Wild Knights Trust selected the one-time $650,000 payout instead of the $50,000 per year annuity option tied to the $1 million prize. The same report notes that the Weymouth Shaw’s that sold the ticket will receive a $10,000 retailer bonus, a standard perk the Lottery pays to locations that sell high-tier winners. The prize will be paid out through the Lottery’s normal claim procedures and is subject to federal and state tax withholdings.
Where this fits in recent wins
Massachusetts has been on a bit of a hot streak with instant-ticket jackpots this year. A trust in Lowell recently claimed a $4 million grand prize in the 100X series, as reported by Boston 25 News.
The Lottery’s published prize counts, along with independent trackers, show that top-tier prizes get knocked off the board over time, so the number of remaining big winners in the 100X game keeps shifting as more tickets are cashed.
