It was a lucky day on the SouthCoast, after a New Bedford trust won the $1 million prize in a Massachusetts State Lottery instant ticket game — on the same day a Middleboro woman also took home a $1 million lottery prize.
A New Bedford woman who picked up a $1 million prize in the state lottery last week will be using the cash to pay for her daughter's college — and her own college loans.
Just a few hours before his winning ticket was to expire, Dennis Cote of Ware arrived at Massachusetts Lottery headquarters in Braintree to claim his $25,000 a year for life prize from the “Lucky for Life” drawing held Sept. 26, 2013.
