Apparently, we should have played the lottery yesterday. It was a green Thursday. There were seven winners in Massachussetts who claimed $100,000 in lottery tickets. Two of those winners bought their Mass Cash winning tickets at Cumberland Farms in Wilmington, according to the Massachusetts State Lottery. Another winner was claimed at Ray's Tobacco in Boston and that convenience stor sold three $100,00 winners in Mass Cash. One more Mass Cash $100,000 was sold at Wegmans in Medford. And the final $100,000 winner bought a Money Maker scratch ticket at Shaw's in Raynham.

The Mega Millions jackpot is nearing $1 Billion for Friday night's jackpot. When the jackpots get this high, many people start to think about what they'd do with that much money. Many say they'd go on vacation, quit their job, buy a house and cars. There are also a larger pool of people who buy tickets because many say they don't buy them until the jackpot gets this high. Regardless, for those of us who live in Massachusetts, there are a certain number of stores that are considered more lucky than others.
