Lynn Councilor-at-Large Brian LaPierre attended the grand opening of the WynnBet Sportsbook on Jan. 31 at Encore Boston Harbor.
LaPierre was accompanied by his wife, former Lynn English High School softball great Kelly Curtin LaPierre for the official launch of legalized sports betting in Massachusetts.
During the festivities, the LaPierres interacted with several Boston sports celebrities who were in attendance for the momentous event.
“It’s exciting to be here on an historic day for Massachusetts and Encore Boston Harbor with the launch of legalized sports betting,” said Brian. “Sports betting has been a long time coming to our state, and it’s going to bring in millions of dollars in new state revenue that can go to improving our schools, our roads, and our housing. Encore has a great one-stop shopping experience for anyone who likes to dabble a little bit on sports betting. You can bet all the games and you can come and have a great time at the beautiful Encore Resort.”
LaPierre connected on his first-ever wager, selecting a winning, two-team, college basketball parlay.
