A Massachusetts man said a friend’s advice to “go big or go home” led to his winning a $2 million lottery jackpot.
Michael Silva of Gloucester told Massachusetts State Lottery officials he won $50 from a $10 scratch-off ticket and asked a friend what he should do with his winnings. Advertisement
The friend responded, “Go big or go home,” leading Silva to spend his winnings on a $50 Billion Dollar Extravaganza scratch-off ticket from the 7-Eleven store on Bass Avenue in Gloucester.
The ticket turned out to be a $2 million top prize winner.
The 7-Eleven store was awarded a $20,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
