Raymond Roberts, a Vietnam-era veteran, is from Fall River, a city located an hour south of Boston, BBC reported adding that his major win was the result of a gut feeling. He told lottery officials that his "intuition" led him to purchase multiple tickets which were all with the same numbers.
The numbers on each ticket were a combination of anniversary dates and birthdays, a series that he had played in games for more than 20 years. When he picked up his prizes, he opted for a $390,000 cash option for five of his winning tickets. For the sixth ticket, he chose the annuity which promises him payments of $25,000 before taxes for at least 20 years. In total, Raymond Roberts has won more than $2 million before taxes.
Although, he's not the only person to luck out from his win. Royal Liquor, the store at which he purchased the tickets, will also get $5,000 for each winning ticket sold, a total of $30,000 in bonuses.
