Stoneham Mom Wins Millions On Scratch Ticket

Reporting
Paul Burton
STONEHAM (CBS) ― A Stoneham mother won a $10 million grand prize in the new state lottery game.

Debra and Donald Roberto of Stoneham were laughing all the way to the bank.

They just won millions after Debra scratched the lucky Mega Cash ticket.

"I was like haa come here everyone. I couldn't breath," Debra Roberto said with a big smile.

The 57-year-old purchased the winning ticket at Fast Freddie's Convenience Gas Station in Wakefield for just $20.

Fast Freddie's clerk Sarfaraz Tai said he couldn't believe it when she won.

"I saw the ticket, finally I make someone happy," Sarfaraz said.

So for the next 20 years Debra and Donald will receive $500 thousand checks.

"It's actually $350,000 after taxes," Debra said.

The family says they plan to have a very special Christmas this year.

The two have been married for almost 40 years. They have three kids and two grandchildren.

Donald owns his own commercial roofing business and when he found out he won, he still went to work the next day.
