BALTIMORE, MD—A Columbia man almost threw away a $1 million Monopoly X100 scratch-off ticket after buying it at a rest stop in Elkton.
The Howard County resident threw his ticket in the trash after thinking it wasn’t a winner, but then decided to scan it anyway. “See Lottery,” the ticket read.
The man, who has chosen to remain anonymous, is still deciding how he’ll use his winnings. He already owns a home and is considering buying a second.
He purchased his lucky ticket at Travel Centers of America, located at 1400 Elkton Road in Cecil County..
The MONOPOLY X100, with three top prizes remaining, launched in January as part of the Maryland Lottery’s MONOPOLY game family and MONOPOLY Second-Chance Promotion.
