BOSTON — Adam Finnell is having a good week.

The Attleboro resident is the first $1 million prize winner in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s new “$4,000,000 Extreme Cash” instant ticket game that went on sale on March 31, lottery officials said Thursday.

Finnell chose the cash option on his prize and received a one-time payment of $650,000, before taxes, lottery officials said.

He told lottery officials that he plans to use his winnings to invest, save for retirement, make some home repairs, and go on a few trips.

The winning ticket was purchased at Dodgeville Country Store, 408 South Main St. in Attleboro.

The store receives a $10,000 bonus for the sale of this ticket.

The “$4,000,000 Extreme Cash” instant ticket includes five more instant prizes of $1 million and two grand prizes of $4 million.
