Bristol Man Wins $1 Million On Mega Millions Ticket
The winner, a Bristol man, says he plans to use the lottery prize money for retirement.
BRISTOL, RI — A Bristol man won $1 million on a Mega Millions ticket he bought in February, Rhode Island Lottery officials said Wednesday.
Lottery officials said the prize from the Feb. 2 drawing had gone unclaimed for months. The man noticed the prize was unclaimed and checked his ticket, since he knew the winning ticket came from the Stop & Shop on Metacom Avenue in Bristol.
Thankfully, he still had the ticket and now plans to use the money towards his retirement, lottery officials said.
