Braintree's Lobster Roll Trust Claims $1 Million Lottery Prize

The winning ticket was purchased in Milton but claimed by the crustacean-inspired Braintree trust.

BRAINTREE, MA — Lobster might be expensive, but you can probably afford it without winning $1 million in the Massachusetts lottery.

Still, a winning ticket sold in Milton was claimed by the Braintree-based Lobster Roll Trust, making the cost of lobster pretty much irrelevant for whoever ends of seeing that prize.

The ticket was sold as part of the lottery's “$10,000,000 Premier Cash” instant ticket game.
