BALTIMORE, MD—A Baltimore County woman believes she is on a winning streak after claiming one prize at Maryland Lottery headquarters only to score $50,000 later that day playing Pick 5. The lucky Nottingham woman happily claimed her latest prize last week and shared her story.
The lucky lady was leaving Maryland Lottery headquarters after claiming a second-chance prize and eager to try her luck with Pick 5, her favorite game. She headed across the street from the Maryland Lottery’s offices to Royal Farms, located at 1801 Washington Boulevard in Baltimore, and bought a ticket for the August 10 midday and evening drawings. She played her grandson’s birthday because of her success last year playing his digits. The lucky lady won $25,000 that time and, almost a year later, scored a $50,000 prize.
“When I realized I won, my jaw was on the floor! I was so happy, I couldn’t believe it,” she said. As a former winner, the happy grandmother knew what to do and quickly made an appointment to claim her prize.
When asked how she will spend her new fortune, the loyal player told officials that she will save and invest much of the prize. She also plans to treat her family to a trip to Walt Disney World.
