What a way to start your new life! —  A newlywed couple in Massachusetts is taking home a wedding gift many soon-to-be spouses can only dream of.  David and Stacy Foster purchased a 30-dollar scratch-off ticket from the state’s new Supreme Million lottery game two months after they said their “I do’s.”  The couple bought three tickets, and Stacy played the one that was confirmed as the grand 15-million-dollar jackpot winner.  They will receive about six-point-eight-million dollars after taxes, and they plan to use the money to pay off student loans, buy a new house and get a new truck. 

The Fosters had a one in a 7.5-million chance of winning the grand prize.
