The state of Massachusetts had lady luck on its side this past weekend. Not one, but two people won a $10 million prize off of lottery tickets from two separate Massachusetts State Lottery contests.

The prizes were won by players buying tickets from Cash King and Cash Blast. The prize the players won is the top prize any player can win off of these tickets.

Moneybags Capital Trust of Quincy claimed the Cash King prize, the state lottery said Friday. The trust was represented by David Spillane, who chose to receive a one-time payment of $6.5 million before taxes. 

The state lottery said the Cash King prize was claimed by Moneybags Capital Trust represented by David Spillane. The Cash Blast prize was claimed by Michael Fitzgerald, a chef from Boylston. Both winners chose to collect their prizes as a one-time payment of $6.5 million before taxes. 

The Cash King ticket was purchased at Jobi Liquors on Cambridge Street in Boston, and the Cash Blast ticket was purchased at Star Liquor on Route 9 in Shrewsbury. The stores each received a $50,000 bonus for selling the tickets.
