MDA BALTIMORE After buying a ticket on the spur of the moment, a waitress from Baltimore County won the top prize of $50,000 in the Maryland Lottery’s Deluxe Crossword scratch-off.
She was reminded of her sporadic fondness for scratch-offs by a family member who was on her way to purchase lottery tickets earlier in the week, which led to the fortunate win. She gave him $5 and instructed him to choose any game, which is how she won her transformative jackpot.
I was in awe when I scratched the ticket that evening. She declared herself completely stunned upon learning she had received the top award. She was so happy that she hurried to tell her family, who at first believed something was amiss until they saw the ticket. She recalls, “We all went a little bit crazy.”
The Carroll Fuel gas station, located at 900 Taylor Avenue in Baltimore, sold the winning ticket and received a $500 bonus for doing so. The Deluxe Crossword game’s ninth edition, which was released in September, still has 13 $10,000 prizes and six $50,000 prizes up for grabs.
