Daniel Snay, a truck driver from Uxbridge, won $10 million in a scratch-off game in the Massachusetts lottery, which means he will receive an annual check for $500,000 for the next 20 years. But the windfall is not going to stop the 57-year-old from doing what he loves: hauling boats up and down the East Coast.
“I'm going to keep driving," Shay said in a press release issued by the lottery.
He plans to invest his winnings and help his children pay for their education, including his oldest, who is about to start law school.
Snay is the fourth person to win $10 million in Billion Dollar Blockbuster game. The odds of winning one of the 10 top prizes is one in 6.5 million, according to the lottery.
Snay bought the $20 ticket in Hopedale at a Cumberland Falls, which will receive a $50,000 commission for selling a winning ticket.
