The Massachusetts State Lottery originally said the winning $758.7 million ticket was sold in Watertown, not Chicopee

Early Thursday morning, the Massachusetts State Lottery said the winning $758.7 million ticket was sold at Handy Variety in Watertown, however, the agency later said it made a mistake and the winning ticket was actually sold at Pride Station & Store in Chicopee, Massachusetts.

"Omg," Shelley Christopher-Roy posted on Facebook.
