Finds top prize on Ultimate Cash instant ticket
An avid scratch-off player from Montgomery County can start packing for an end-of-summer beach getaway to celebrate his $100,000 win on an Ultimate Cash instant ticket.
The happy player bought his lucky $10 scratch-off at Best Beer, Wine & Deli in Gaithersburg. He frequently stops there to buy Lottery games.
The Germantown resident bought seven Ultimate Cash instant tickets, telling Lottery officials he hoped that would give him a better shot at a big win. One of the games from the middle of the pack revealed a money bag symbol with a corresponding $100,000 top prize.
“I thought the machine was broken,” said the winner, who couldn’t believe what he was seeing. So far, he hasn’t made any major plans for his prize except taking his girlfriend to the beach before summer ends.
His lucky Lottery retailer, Best Beer, Wine & Deli located at 18749 Frederick Avenue, also has a reason to celebrate. The store owner collects a $1,000 Lottery bonus for selling a top-prize winning scratch-off worth $100,000.
The Ultimate Cash instant ticket went on sale in June 2023 with eight $100,000 top prizes. There are still three top prizes remaining along with three unclaimed $50,000 prizes, 14 $10,000 prizes and 19 $1,000 prizes.
