The Massachusetts State Lottery has given out another $1 million prize and the winner is "gonna need" a bigger wallet.
Gecimar Silva is now the third grand prize winner of the Massachusetts Lottery's "Jaws" instant game, which became available for purchase on March 26, Massachusetts Lottery officials announced in a recent press release.
Silva has lived on Martha's Vineyard for 18 years and was inspired to buy the film-inspired lottery ticket because the Academy Award-winning movie was filmed on the island, he told the lottery.

The lucky winner claimed his prize from the Massachusetts Lottery headquarters in Dorchester on Friday, May 3.
"Silva chose to receive his prize in the form of "a one-time payment of $650,000 (before taxes)," lottery officials reported.
Silva said he has not taken a vacation in 30 years and plans on using his winnings to pay for a trip to Florida.
The grand prize ticket was purchased from a local Depot Market located in Edgartown and the store will receive a $10,000 bonus for selling the ticket.
