Maryland’s Aberdeen. When an Aberdeen couple won a $1 million top prize in the Maryland Lottery’s $20 Gold Rush 777 scratch-off game, a casual lottery ritual took a drastic turn.
The winning ticket was bought at a Wawa on North Philadelphia Boulevard by the couple, who have been playing lottery games together for over 30 years. The seven-figure prize was revealed when the spouse scratched off the ticket and noticed a match on number 18. The pair was still in shock after verifying the win using the Maryland Lottery app.
“It’s a million-dollar winner, Mama,” he exclaimed. The wife remembered, “I didn’t believe it.” She checked again on her phone and saw the identical message, but she acknowledged that the win’s actuality hadn’t quite set in.
With their newfound money, the couple intends to aid family members, pay off bills, and buy a new house—possibly in Pennsylvania or Western Maryland. The husband asked his wife if she still believed it before he left the lottery office. I suppose she shrugged in response.
The Maryland Lottery will give a $1,000 bonus to the Wawa location that sold the winning ticket.
