Maryland’s Chesapeake Beach. When a guy from Anne Arundel County won the $50,000 top prize in the Maryland Lottery’s $50,000 Cash scratch-off game earlier this week, his regular morning took an amazing turn.
With little success, the retired mechanical engineer, who wished to remain nameless, claimed to have been playing the $20 scratch-off for weeks. This time, however, he was astounded to see a match that yielded the game’s top prize after scratching off his ticket at home. He informed Lottery authorities, “I was certain that I must be reading it incorrectly.”
The winner was so thrilled by the finding that they called a family member who lived close to tell them. He promptly reassured them with the news of his unexpected fortune after a brief period of tension.
The devoted player says, “Retirement costs money, you know,” and intends to deposit his $50,000 winnings into the bank. According to lottery authorities, he stated that he might continue playing the $50,000 Cash game for the time being, which still has 68 top prizes up for grabs.
The Twin Beach Convenient Mart on Bayside Road in Chesapeake Beach is where the winning ticket was bought. For selling the top-prize ticket, the business was rewarded with a bonus of $500.
