It's called Scratch & Win, produced by WGBH Boston. It's a follow up to a great series about The Big Dig.

Thanks Pablo. When I grew up there you almost can’t even explain what a significant part of the culture and daily life scratch tickets are but they were second only to the Red Sox and definitely came ahead of the church in peoples’ priorities lol

That’s what apparently prompted the podcast. The researcher discovered that Massachusetts accounts for a huge percentage of lotto sales, far beyond the national average. It’s an interesting listen!
