Bonus Match 5 is hotter than the weather outside. The game produced its second top-prize winner in the last five days as a $50,000 winning ticket was sold in Wheaton last night.
The numbers drawn for the July 7 drawing were: 22, 25, 34, 38 and 39; the Bonus Ball was 10.
The winning ticket was purchased Elbe’s Beer & Wine located at 2522 University Boulevard in Wheaton. For selling the ticket, the Montgomery County retailer will receive a $500 bonus.
This is the 14th $50,000 winner sold in 2025 and the second winner in the past week as a winning-ticket was sold in Jessup on July 3.
Bonus Match 5 drawings take place seven days a week. Players select five numbers ranging from one to 39. The Bonus Ball drawn from the remaining 34 numbers provides extra chances to win. Your ticket is a winner if you match five, four or three of the original five winning numbers selected in the drawing. If you match the Bonus Ball number, you only need to match four, three or two of your original numbers to win!
Lottery officials urge the winner to sign the back of the ticket and put it in a safe place. The player has 182 days to claim the prize.
