WEBSTER - In an extraordinary twist of fate, Carmen Fago of Webster, who scooped up a $4 million jackpot in the Massachusetts State Lottery's "777" instant game on Thanksgiving Day, is planning a modest celebration: paying off his truck and sticking to his daily routine.
Despite his newfound wealth, Fago, who opted for a one-time payment of $2,600,000 before taxes, remains grounded in his approach to life.
Fago's winning ticket came from Mac’s Auto Repair on 77 East Main Street in Webster, a location that is now $40,000 richer for selling the winning ticket. While the store celebrates its windfall, Fago remains committed to his everyday life.
As Fago continues his day-to-day life with a bit less financial worry, his story serves as a heartwarming reminder that sometimes, the greatest luxury is the simplicity and stability of the life we already have.
