Stokes, who has won $25,000 a year for up to 20 years, which equals a $500,000 maximum, had opted for a one-time cash option payment, which brought the prize down to $390,000 pre-tax, or $273,000 after tax.
His winnings were doubled to $546,000, after his family gifted him a season pass to the Massachusetts State Lottery Lucky for Life drawing with their lucky numbers and he bought a second ticket with the exact same numbers.
Stokes plans to use the winnings to pay for his son’s college tuition and his daughter’s remaining car payments, as well as take his family on a vacation.
