A Fall River resident got a pleasant Thanksgiving surprise last week.
Fabio Alexandre kicked off the holidays with some extra cheer, winning a $1 million prize in a “200X” instant ticket game, according to a Dec. 1 announcement from Massachusetts State Lottery.
Alexandre bought the lucky ticket during a Thanksgiving Day stop at Shop N Save, 1625 Robeson St., Fall River.
He opted for the cash option on his prize and received a one-time payment of $650,000 before taxes, which he said he plans on using to buy a house.
According to Massachusetts State Lottery, the store will also receive a $10,000 bonus for the winning ticket sale.
