Massachusetts Mom Wins $25M Lottery Jackpot, Plans to Pay Off Daughters' Student Loans

Desiree Fortini-Craft, a Massachusetts mom, won a $25 million lottery prize and plans to use the money to pay off her three daughters' student loans, buy a new car, and go on a Christmas trip to Aruba. This is not her first lottery win, as she previously won $1 million in 2006. The store where she purchased the winning ticket will receive a $50,000 bonus. The Massachusetts State Lottery, which operates as a self-operated lottery, contributes to local aid programs and had a record-breaking year with $350 million in commissions and bonuses.
