Massachusetts man’s elevator numbers earn him $300,000 in the lottery

June 30 (UPI) — A Massachusetts man used a set of numbers from his old work elevator to win a $300,000 lottery prize.

The Massachusetts State Lottery said Weymouth resident Sylvester Semedo played the same set of numbers three times on a single Mass Cash ticket he bought for the June 26 drawing at Jenny’s Market in Weymouth.

Semedo told lottery officials his numbers — 2-6-10-14-18 — represented the only floors the elevator would stop on at his old work building.

The numbers earned him $300,000 — $100,000 for each set he played.

Semedo said he plans to use some of his winnings to attend a Boston Red Sox away game.
