NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. — A Massachusetts man won a big lottery prize when he stopped on his way home from a men’s league hockey game to gas up the car for his wife and decided to go inside to buy a scratch ticket.
Christian Kalil, or North Andover, won a $1 million prize on the “$1,000,000 Winning 7″ instant ticket game, according to the Massachusetts Lottery.
In a statement, the Lottery said, “Kalil was on his way to his men’s league hockey game when he stopped to get gas so that his wife would not have to do so in the morning. While there, he bought a bottle of water and his winning ticket. He chose the ticket because it was in dispenser number five and his son was born in the month of May.”
Kalil bought the winning ticket at the Sunoco on Newbury Street in Peabody.
That store will receive a $10,000 bonus for its sale of this ticket.
