Nashua Man Wins $390K In Lottery, Will Pay Off Student Loans

NASHUA, NH — A Nashua man turned a $2 lottery ticket into $390,000 after hitting a jackpot. Peter Nguyen won the Massachusetts State Lottery's "Lucky For Life" game in a July drawing. He claimed his prize last week and opted for the one-time $390,000 payout instead of the $25,000 a year for life option.

Nguyen told the lottery he will use the money to pay off his student loans. He purchased the winning ticket at Fettes Wine & Spirits in Springfield, Massachusetts. The store will receive a $5,000 bonus.

Nguyen was one of ten people who have won the "Lucky For Life" jackpot this year. Tickets are $2.
