Bowie Retailer Sells $50,000 Winning Bonus Match 5 Ticket

Lucky ticket from Nov. 21 drawing

There is a lucky Bonus Match 5 player who is about to start the holiday season with a whole lot of green!

The Maryland Lottery is looking for the player holding the top-prize winning ticket from the Tuesday, Nov. 22 drawing. The 7-Eleven #29997 in Bowie sold the ticket, which matches the five numbers of 13, 16, 23, 27 and 38; the Bonus Ball was 29.

Lottery officials urge the winner to sign the back of the ticket and put it in a safe place. The winner has 182 days to claim the prize and must come in person to Lottery headquarters at 1800 Washington Blvd. in Baltimore.

The retailer is also a winner; the Lottery will give the store located at 3570 Crain Highway a bonus of $500 for selling the lucky ticket.

Bonus Match 5 drawings take place seven days a week. Players select five numbers ranging from 1 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!
