Bel Air, Maryland.On December 2, a retired Bel Air man who likes to purchase Maryland Lottery scratch-off tickets at the end of the year won his largest jackpot to date: $50,000.
The lucky ticket for the 20X The Cash game was bought at the Exxon station on MacPhail Road by the Harford County player, who has won between $500 and $800 in the past. The first ticket in the batch he purchased was the winning one.
He recalled the moment he discovered he had won and stated, “I kept looking at it, and looking at it, looking at it.” He locked it up at home and only told his older son about the windfall after the store clerk confirmed the win and encouraged him to protect the ticket.
The player intends to keep playing the lottery, but he claims the winnings will go straight into his savings to cover any unforeseen costs. He had another set of tickets valued less than $100 that he was prepared to cash as of December 2.
A $500 bonus will be given to the MacPhail Road Exxon station, which is situated at 600 West MacPhail Road, for selling the ticket with the highest prize. For the 20X The Cash game, there is only one $50,000 top prize still unclaimed.
