My father's barber won one of the first million dollar prizes in the Massachusetts lottery....back in the early 70’s when a million was a lot of money.He stopped being a barber very shortly after the win.

I remember some plug uglies put one of Doc Ziganski’s guys on ice because they wanted his Numbers Racket. Doc was on his stool at the HOJOS in Kenmore Square when they tried to shake him down. Doc said “haven’t you morons heard? There’s a new thing called the Lottery. The Numbers Racket is over”.

I remember a coworker of my dad hit mass millions when it first came out and was sure he was going to retire early, but sadly 17 other people had the same numbers and ended up with like $50k after taxes. I’d take it but be pissed I thought I was getting a million.
