Paul Riley of Peabody brought his dog Raven to the lottery office on Tuesday to claim his lump-sum prize of $2.6 million after taxes, according to the Massachusetts Lottery. Riley won the 100X Cash scratch-off game after buying a ticket in Peabody.
Riley plans to donate part of his winnings to the Animal Rescue League and buy a new car for his wife, he told the lottery.
