South Shore woman reels in massive Lottery payday

A Pembroke woman will now be able to get a bigger boat.

Erin Cobb is the fourth person to claim a $1 million grand prize in the Massachusetts State Lottery ’s "Jaws" -themed instant ticket game that went on sale March 26. There are two more outstanding grand prizes, according to the Lottery website.

Cobb took a one-time payment of $650,000, before taxes, on Monday, July 29, at Lottery headquarters in Dorchester.

"This is life changing," said Cobb. "We will make the most of it and will have some fun."

She said she plans to invest her winnings and take a family vacation.

Stop & Shop at 125 Church St. in Pembroke sold the ticket and receives a $10,000 bonus for the sale. (This Stop & Shop is not one of the stores that is closing.)

The Massachusetts State Lottery was the first in the nation to partner with Universal City Studios on a "Jaws"-themed instant ticket.
