BALTIMORE, MD—A Maryland man’s day on the links turned out to be extra lucky after he won a $1 million prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket.
The winner, who calls himself “19th Hole” in a nod to his love of golf, purchased the $20 1 Million Royale ticket at an Express Lane convenience store in Salisbury, according to a Maryland Lottery press release.
He bought the ticket after playing a round of golf at Nutters Crossing Golf Club and initially thought he had won $1,000 after scanning the ticket in the store. However, he was in disbelief when the Maryland Lottery mobile app confirmed he had actually won the $1 million prize.
The winner, who has been playing scratch-off games for years, said he plans to invest his winnings, while his wife said she hopes he’ll retire early.
