Massachusetts Woman Strikes Gold – Twice: Wins $1 Million Lottery Prizes in Just 10 Weeks

Christine Wilson from Attleborough, Massachusetts, pulled off a near-impossible feat: she won $1 million on a Massachusetts State Lottery scratch ticket—and then did it again just 10 weeks later.

Wrentham 2026 Census Forms Are Due — Here’s Why It Matters

Wrentham residents are being reminded to return their 2026 annual town census forms, a routine but important part of local government that impacts more than most people realize.
