MDA, ABERDEEN An Aberdeen couple won $1 million after winning the top prize on the $20 Gold Rush 777 scratch-off ticket in the Maryland lottery, following a long-standing lottery tradition.
The spouse scratched the winning ticket, which he had bought at the Wawa convenience shop on 231 North Philadelphia Boulevard, and matched the winning number 18 to win $1 million. The wife was initially skeptical, but after verifying their life-altering victory using the Maryland Lottery app, she was astounded.
Since they began dating more than 30 years ago, the pair has been playing lottery games together. They intend to utilize their winnings to purchase a new home, either in Pennsylvania or Western Maryland. They also plan to use the unexpected wealth to help family members and settle debts.
When the wife claimed the reward on November 22, she acknowledged that it still doesn’t feel real, but the enormity of the win has gradually started to set in. Additionally, the Maryland Lottery will give the Wawa store a $1,000 bonus for selling the ticket that won the top prize.
