A Maryland Lottery scratch-off ticket made a millionaire in Baltimore, and two other players in Rockville and Upper Marlboro each won $100,000, topping the big winners leaderboard for the past week.
Meanwhile, a pair of Powerball players in Gaithersburg and Mechanicsville bought tickets that won $50,000 prizes in the Aug. 16 drawing. The Powerball jackpot was last hit on May 31 and has rolled to an estimated annuity value of $605 million (estimated cash value $273.4 million) for the next drawing on Aug. 18.
Across Maryland, and across all games, the Lottery paid nearly $30.5 million in prizes during the week of Aug. 11-18, including 25 tickets worth $10,000 or more that were sold or redeemed in that seven-day span.
