Mass. lottery tickets yield two separate $10 million winners

Not one, but two people have won a $10 million prize from separate Massachusetts State Lottery scratch tickets Thursday. 

Lady Luck was on the side for two players of $10,000,000 Cash King and $10,000,000 Cash Blast. 

Moneybags Capital Trust, of Quincy, claimed the Cash King prize, the state lottery said Friday. The trust was represented by David Spillane, who chose to receive a one-time payment of $6.5 million before taxes. 

The ticket was purchased at Jobi Liquors on Cambridge Street in Boston. They will receive a $50,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. 

Michael Fitzgerald, a chef from Boylston, collected his winnings from the Cash Blast game also as a one-time payment of $6.5 million before taxes. He said he chose to play the instant ticket game because he saw big prizes were remaining. 

He bought his winning ticket at Star Liquor on Route 9 in Shrewsbury. This store also received a $50,000 bonus for selling the ticket.
