A Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, man has won a lottery prize of $1 million from the 'Jaws' instant game. The ticket was inspired by the Steven Spielberg-directed, 1975 thriller.
The Massachusetts State Lottery has given out another $1 million prize and the winner is "gonna need" a bigger wallet. Gecimar Silva is now the third grand prize winner of the Massachusetts Lottery's "Jaws" instant game, which became available for purchase on March 26, Massachusetts Lottery officials announced in a recent press release.
The lucky winner claimed his prize from the Massachusetts Lottery headquarters in Dorchester on Friday, May 3. "Silva chose to receive his prize in the form of "a one-time payment of $650,000 ," lottery officials reported. Silva said he has not taken a vacation in 30 years and plans on using his winnings to pay for a trip to Florida.
The "Jaws" instant game includes three $1 million grand prizes, which have now all been claimed following Silva's win. "It also features a series of five Second Chance Drawings in which a total of 30 lucky winners are being awarded a "Jaws"-inspired trip for two to Martha’s Vineyard in the summer of 2025," the press release said.
The trip includes a three-night stay at Harbor View Hotel in Edgartown, black car service to and from the port and a ferry to and from the island.
