Palmer Woman Wins $1 Million as Gold 50X Nears Final Jackpot

A big win just wrapped up in Massachusetts! The final $1 million prize from a popular $10 scratch-off game has officially been claimed — but the excitement isn’t over yet.

The winning ticket came from the “$4,000,000 Gold 50X” scratch game, which first launched on January 7, 2025. And here’s the eye-catching part:

• ? One massive $4 million grand prize is still out there

• ?? The game continues to draw serious attention from players statewide

Karen Chudy of Palmer stepped forward on Thursday as the lucky winner. She bought her ticket at a Shell gas station on South Main Street in Bondsville — and it turned out to be worth a cool $1 million.

Instead of annual payments, Chudy chose the lump sum option, walking away with $650,000 before taxes. She shared that the money will go toward home improvements — a practical and exciting way to use the windfall.

The store that sold the winning ticket is celebrating too. The Shell gas station will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the prize-winning scratcher.

While the last $1 million prize is now off the board, that remaining $4 million top prize is still waiting for someone to claim it. So for players in Massachusetts, the golden opportunity isn’t over just yet.
