An IT professional from Ellicott City has a “honey-do” list to thank for his latest lottery win. His wife asked him to make a run to the grocery store, which led him to the lottery counter of a Giant supermarket. He paid $6 for one Bonus Match 5 ticket and the next morning he learned that he had $50,000 coming his way.
The Howard County resident purchased his winning ticket at the Giant supermarket located at 9200 Baltimore National Pike in Ellicott City.
He plays the Maryland Lottery once every few weeks. This time he replayed an old Bonus Match 5 ticket in which he had already won a $300 prize.
The next day he checked his ticket using the Maryland Lottery app on his phone. He was quite surprised when he noticed that he had won again, but this time, it was more than 10 times the amount of his last Bonus Match 5 win. He kept double-checking his ticket and now it’s clear that he’ll be bringing home a $50,000 payday.
When asked about his plans for his winnings, he said he’s just going to pay down bills. The lucky winner has worked in IT for the past 20 years and has two children.The Giant store will receive a $500 bonus for selling a $50,000 winning Bonus Match 5 ticket.
