NEWTON, MA —What would you do with $15 million? That's the question right now before Terrance Bascom. The Newton resident walked into a Richdale Food Shop in Randolph this week, bought a "200X" scratch ticket for $30 and walked out a $15,000,000 prize winner. The odds of winning $15 million are 1 in 7.56 million. It would seem the luck was with this one.

Bascom chose the cash option on his prize and received a one-time payment of $9,750,000 with the taxes taken out, according to the folks over at the state lottery. No word on what he plans to do with his winnings, just yet.

Meanwhile the Richdale Food Shops in Randolph gets a $50,000 bonus for its sale of the ticket.
