Laurel, M.D.After picking a number combination based on her daily horoscope, a retired Laurel company owner won the top prize of $50,000 in Maryland’s Pick 5 game.
After matching all five numbers from the June drawing, the veteran Maryland Lottery player went to Lottery headquarters in Baltimore to pick up her prize. She was reading horoscopes as part of her daily morning practice when the numbers, 25569, suddenly came to her.
Sandy Spring Exxon, located at 7801 Old Sandy Spring Road, is where the lucky ticket was bought. Selling the top-prize winning ticket will earn the shop a $500 bonus.
Having played the lottery for over 30 years, the Laurel woman claimed to have won smaller sums in the past but never a jackpot this size. The unexpected fortune resulted from her decision to follow her intuition and trust the horoscope.
