Buying multiple tickets is just how he does it, a winner from Waldorf reported when he claimed $150,405 Oct. 28 at Lottery headquarters in Baltimore.
And by multiple, he means multiple combinations with the exact same numbers. This strategy may not add up for everyone, for this Bonus Match 5 fan it added up to $150,405 in prize money, his biggest win ever.
One of the bonus aspects of Bonus Match 5 is its price structure. A single number combination costs $1, but for $2 you get three tickets, four combinations cost $3, six for $4, seven for $5 and nine for $6. The winner in this case played nine combinations for $6, with some of his chosen combinations being unique while including one that gave him three $50,000 wins plus some lower tier prizes for a total of for a total of $150,405.
When asked about his play style, the winner, an Army veteran, said he plays Bonus Match 5 using a list of numbers he “feels very good about.” That feeling, that confidence is so solid that he buys two and sometimes more of every number combination he plays.
“It sounds odd, but I do expect to win with these numbers,” he said. “I know the odds say otherwise, but this list has not let me down.”
Bonus Match 5’s most recent big winner made his Bonus Match 5 ticket purchases at Dash In convenience store at 2007 Smallwood Drive in Waldorf. The Charles County business receives a $500 bonus from the Lottery for each of the three $50,135 top prize winners it sold, for a total of $1,500.
