When a store clerk gave a Massachusetts man a different kind of scratch-off lottery ticket than he asked for, he didn’t make a big deal about the mistake; he said he just ‘‘rolled with it.’’
It was a good decision: He won $1 million.
Richard Brown of Taunton said he went into Gulf Taunton recently and asked for a $5 ‘‘Blue Ice 7s’’ ticket, but the clerk was distracted and instead gave him a ‘‘Sizzlin 7s’’ ticket.
Brown selected the cash option on the prize and received a one-time lump sum payment of about $430,000 after taxes. He plans to use the money for a new roof on his home and to take a trip to San Francisco. The store gets a $10,000 commission.
