A Massachusetts resident claimed her $25,000-a-year-for-life prize on Thursday with plans to invest her winnings. Felicia Linton, of Salem, won the prize in the $2 multi-state “Lucky for Life” game after her first five numbers on her Quic Pic ticket matched the winning numbers for the Dec. 15 drawing, according to Massachusetts State Lottery. The game is conducted seven nights a week. Linton claimed her prize the day after Christmas and chose the cash option, receiving a one-time payment of $390,000 before taxes, the lottery’s press release said. She bought the winning ticket at Nicole’s Food Store at 406 Essex St. in Salem.
