A Stoneham mother who won a $10 million instant prize in the lottery's new Mega Cash game says she's planning on "one great Christmas."

Debra Roberto's grand prize ties the record for the largest instant grand prize ever awarded in the country.

She will receive 20 annual checks for $500,000. Roberto bought the winning ticket at Fast Freddie's on Main Street in Wakefield.

She and her husband own a construction company that they plan to transfer to their children.

"I'm planning one great Christmas, and I have my eye on a new car," Roberto said.

Mega Cash, the lottery's newest $20 instant game, features 40 instant prizes of $1 million and four of $10 million.
