Two $100K Mass Cash Tickets Hit Back-to-Back Worcester Gas Stations
A pair of $100,000 Mass Cash prizes landed at neighboring gas stations in Worcester, Mass., in a striking lottery coincidence.
Worcester just pulled off something you almost never see in the lottery world. Two separate Mass Cash tickets worth $100,000 each were won at neighboring gas stations in the city — a clustering of luck that's hard to wrap your head around.
