The store, located at 1455 Trapelo Road, will receive a $40,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Santos chose the cash option on his prize, the state lottery said, and he received a one-time payment of $2,600,000.

He didn't say where he wants to travel, but with that sum, even before taxes, he'll probably have quite a few places to choose from.
