Massachusetts senator makes good on his Super Bowl bet with our senator Maria Cantwell

Massachusetts Sen. Edward Markey pays up after his losing Super Bowl bet with our Senator Maria Cantwell.

On Tuesday, February 10, 2026 Sen. Maria Cantwell reaped the spoils of her successful wager with Sen. Edward Markey (D-MA) on the outcome of Super Bowl LX.

Sen. Markey presented Sen. Cantwell with the promised lobster rolls and Sam Adams Boston Lager in her office at the Capitol.

Additional information: 

A lobster roll is a North American dish comprising lobster meat served on a grilled hot dog–style bun, commonly credited to have been invented in Milford, Connecticut. The filling may also contain butter, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, with variants made in some parts of New England replacing the butter with mayonnaise. Other versions may contain diced celery or scallion. --Wikipedia

Sen. Cantwell's bet was "...seafood for seafood and beer for beer that we'll be champs -- salmon for lobster, and Rainier for Sam Adams."
