A Drury resident got real luck with life as a winner in the Massachusetts Lottery’s “Lucky for Life” multi-state game.

According to the Massachusetts Lottery website, Joseph Winchell of the village of Drury in the town of Florida is the winner of a $25,000 a Year for Life prize won in the multi-state Lucky for Life game, matching the first five numbers selected in the drawing that took place Saturday, November 6.

He decided to take a lump-sum payment of 390,000 before taxes.

What will he do with his winnings? He plans on using some of the money on college tuition for his children, payments on his mortgage and vehicle.

The winner told the Massachusetts State Lottery headquarters that he always chooses numbers 23 and 32, then randomly picks the remaining numbers.

He bought his ticket at EZ Mart located at 232 Ashland Street in North Adams. The retailer will get a $5,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
