Robitaille opted to not receive the full million as she chose to receive a one-time, pre-tax payment of $650,000. Kwik Mart however where she purchased the winning ticket, will receive a $10,000 bonus.

Robitaille also joins a handful of people to win at least $1 million in lottery games in the county this year and her prize is the largest in the county since the Dalton ticket was sold at Kelly's Package Store.
