BROCKTON — One man from Brockton just won $1 million with a Mass Lottery instant ticket — making him the Mass Lottery’s first $1 million prize winner of 2025, the Lottery said. Jose Fernandes chose the all cash plan and will receive a one-time payment of $650,000 (before taxes).

Three winning $100,000 lottery tickets were sold at different locations in Massachusetts, according to the Massachusetts State Lottery website. One of the winning tickets came from the game, “Mass Cash” and was sold at Route 110 Convenience in Methuen for $2 on Friday.

Four dozen lottery tickets worth $1 million or more were sold in New Jersey last year — highlighted by the $1.3 billion Mega Millions prize that was recently claimed. A $221 million ticket bought in Lindenwold in June is among 12 Powerball tickets sold in the state worth at least $1 million and is the second biggest prize won in 2024 in the state.
