A Cheshire Grandfather Is A Lucky for Life Winner

A Cheshire man is another big Lottery winner from the Berkshires.  According to Masslive.com, Donald Oltsch won a $25,000 a year for life prize in the multi-state Lucky for Life game.

The grandfather of seven won when the first five numbers on his Quic Pic ticket matched those selected in the Monday drawing, according to the Massachusetts State Lottery.

Oltsch chose to receive his prize in annual payments of $25,000 (less tax withholdings) every year for life.  There is a minimum 20-year guarantee on the prize.  He told lottery officials that he plans on using his winnings to help out his family.

He purchased his winning ticket at the Big Y World Class Market in Adams.  The store will receive a $5,000 bonus for its sale.

This is the eighth $25,000 a year for life prize won on tickets sold by the Massachusetts Lottery in the Lucky for Life game this year. Lucky for Life tickets can be played in 25 states and Washington D.C.
