--UPDATE--
The Massachusetts State Lottery has issued a correction, saying the jackpot-winning Powerball ticket was NOT actually sold in Watertown.
That ticket was sold in Chicopee, according to lottery spokesperson Christian Teja.
The correction came hours after the lottery reported that the jackpot-winning ticket was sold at Handy Variety in Watertown. There was a $1 million winner sold there, it just wasn’t the jackpot.
The store that sold the jackpot-winning ticket was, instead, Pride Station & Store on Montgomery St. in Chicopee.
