“I’m handling it OK so far,” Debra A. Roberto said in a statement provided by the Massachusetts Lottery. “I’m planning one great Christmas, and I have my eye on a new car.”

Lottery officials said the lottery's first $10 million instant prize game was created two years ago and since then, 14 $10 million prizes have been awarded.

“It’s rewarding to see our players win record prizes in our ground-breaking games,” said Mark Cavanagh, the lottery's executive director.

Roberto, who will receive 20 annual checks for $500,000, bought the lucky Mega Cash ticket at Fast Freddy on Main Street in Wakefield, the lottery said.
