Forgotten scratch ticket turns into $1 million winner for Medford man

Bought ticket a month ago at store right over Malden-Medford city line; house cleaner found it in his house

MALDEN – Khalil Soussa better give his house cleaner a big tip! A few months ago, Sousa bought a $15 Million Money Maker scratch ticket. He told the Massachusetts Lottery his house cleaner recently found the ticket sitting forgotten in a vase in his Medford home and gave it to him. After he scratched it, he discovered it was a $1 million winner! Soussa chose the one-time cash option and ended up with $650,000 before taxes.

Tony’s Convenience, which is located at 416 Salem St. in Medford just over the Malden-Medford city line, sold that winning ticket. The owners will get a $10,000 bonus from the lottery for selling it.
