Oxon Hill, Maryland.When an Oxon Hill man won $100,000 playing the Maryland Lottery’s Pick 5 game on Friday, December 13, what is frequently regarded as the unluckiest day of the year ended up transforming his life.
He bought two different tickets at Modern Liquors in Temple Hills and played the numbers 50403 on a $1 straight bet for both the midday and evening drawings, according to Clarence, a retired federal employee who asked that only his first name be used.
Clarence won $50,000 on each ticket after learning later that evening that they both matched the lunchtime winning numbers. Clarence stated, “I just started hollering.” Even though I knew what I saw, I didn’t think it was real.
By scanning his tickets, Clarence verified his $100,000 total win. He also received an extra $1,200 from Box bets he had placed. Next month, he wants to take a birthday trip and pay his debts with the money he won.
The Maryland Lottery will give Modern Liquors, where Clarence purchased the winning tickets, a $1,000 bonus for selling the two tickets that won $50,000.
This fortunate Maryland guy had a memorable triumph on a day that was notoriously unlucky.
