Jackpot joy in the Bay State! A Peabody local just hit a $4 million lottery bonanza. And guess what? His furry best friend was right there to celebrate.
Paul Riley struck gold with the Massachusetts State Lottery's 100X Cash game. Tuesday's announcement revealed his mega-win.
Riley's choice? A cool $2.6 million lump sum. His golden ticket? Bought at Peabody's Summit Variety.
But here's the heartwarming twist. Riley, a self-proclaimed animal enthusiast, had his loyal dog, Raven, by his side for the big moment. Picture this: man and dog, grinning, holding a giant lottery check in the chilly Massachusetts weather.
Riley's generosity shines through. He's pledging a slice of his fortune to the Animal Rescue League. Not just a winner but a giver!
There's more. His wife's in for a treat – a brand-new car, thanks to the windfall. And let's not forget Summit Variety. They're pocketing a sweet $40,000 for selling the lucky ticket.
The odds of winning? A staggering 1 in 5,376,000. Riley's win isn't just lucky—it's astronomical!
