The wife of a Salem resident knows how to keep a big secret. Robert C. Senior bought a $250,000 second–tier prize winning ticket on the 12-20-11 Mega Millions’ game, but he could not read it without his glasses. His wife knew it was a winner, but she didn’t tell him. She held onto the ticket and finally revealed that it was worth a second-tier prize after the holidays.
