A Dorchester woman won a $1 million Powerball prize earlier this week. Tiffany Brown hit the first five numbers of her Quic Pic ticket in Monday’s drawing.
On Wednesday, Brow headed to the Massachusetts State Lottery headquarters – conveniently located in Dot, and claimed her prize with one of those ceremonial big checks! $1M before taxes! Sweet!
The winning ticket was purchased at Supreme Liquors, located at 506 Geneva Ave. in Dorchester. The store is set to receive $10,000 for selling the winning ticket. Brown said she was encouraged to play by a friend because of the large jackpot.
PS If you’re feeling lucky, this week’s Powerball is up to $725M! Get your ticket before Saturday’s drawing.
