Maryland Lottery officials may be looking for you.

If you purchased a Bonus Match 5 ticket in Parkville for the drawing on Friday, March 9, you may be $100,000 richer.

The Maryland Lottery is looking for the player holding a ticket that has two lines matching all five of the winning numbers in Friday’s drawing.

The ticket, worth $100,000 – $50,000 for each line – was sold at J Convenience, located at 8765 Satyr Hill Road in Parkville (21234).

The lucky ticket has two lines matching the five numbers of 7, 11, 16, 21 and 29. Lottery officials urge the winner to sign the back of the ticket and keep it safe. The winner has 182 days to claim the prize and must come in person to Lottery headquarters at 1800 Washington Blvd. in Baltimore.

The Baltimore County retailer is also a winner. The Lottery will give the store a bonus of $1,000 for selling the lucky ticket.

Bonus Match 5 drawings take place seven days a week. Players select five numbers ranging from 1 to 39. A Bonus Ball drawn from the remaining 34 numbers provides extra chances to win. Your ticket is a $50,000 winner if you match all five of the winning numbers on a single line.

There are also prizes for matching four or three of the original five winning numbers on a single line. If you match the Bonus Ball number, you only need to match four, three or two of the original numbers to win.
