Jul 3, 2021

A North Dartmouth man is now $1 million richer thanks to a random stop for gas.

Resident Antonio Pacheco won the prize in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s “$1,000,000 Fro$ty the Doughman” instant ticket game after making a stop at County Street Convenience in New Bedford last month.

He chose the cash option for his prize and received a payment of $650,000 before taxes. The store will receive a $10,000 bonus for its sale of the ticket.
