On March 5, 2011 James Leonard of Bellingham took to the ice at the TD Garden during the Boston Bruins/Penguins game and scored a $100,000 prize in the Massachusetts State Lottery’s “On Ice Challenge.” Leonard won the opportunity to vie for the $250,000 or $100,000 prize by being selected as the grand prize winner of the Lottery’s 2nd Boston Bruins second chance drawing.

The “On Ice Challenge” places 30 over-sized $5 Boston Bruins instant tickets on the ice. Each ticket is numbered 1-30; 29 tickets have a prize of $100,000, and one ticket has a $250,000 prize. Leonard selected ticket number 4 in honor of his favorite Bruins player, Bobby Orr, and won a $100,000 prize. Leonard, along with the cheering fans in the stands, then learned that ticket 24 held the $250,000 prize. Leonard’s prize also includes two tickets to that night’s game and a Boston Bruins jersey.

Leonard, a Quincy firefighter and a married father of two, also has had the good fortune while playing Lottery games to win a $2 Boston Bruins Suite Experience and the $2 Celtics Court Experience prizes. While attending the Celtics Court Experience at the TD Garden, he was riding in an elevator with a person that had a seizure and due to his training as a firefighter; Leonard was able to assist in stabilizing the passenger. Winning the Boston Bruins Suite Experience, Celtics Court Experience and the On Ice Challenge is a hat-trick for a deserving guy. March 5, 2011
