$4 million winning lottery ticket sold at Bucky's Tavern in Lee

LEE — Somebody walked into Bucky's Tavern and walked out with a $4 million winning lottery ticket. On Tuesday, it got cashed in.
The ticket was part of the "100X" lottery game run by the Massachusetts State Lottery. With that prize claimed, there are two more $4 million prizes available to win through the game.
Joey's Nominee Trust of Pittsfield claimed the prize Tuesday. It is represented by John Martin. He took the payment as a lump sum of $2.6 million before taxes.
The advertised $4 million is paid out in installments over years. Winners who take the money up front get a smaller lump sum reflecting what those future payments are worth today.
Bucky's Tavern, at 25 Consolati Way, will get a bonus of $40,000 for the sale of the ticket.
It is the second-largest lottery win in Lee and fourth-largest in the county since 2003, when Massachusetts State Lottery started tracking wins. The largest win in Lee and the county is a $7.04 million win in 2007. That ticket was sold at the now-closed Dupras Liquor Mart.
