Cecil County Man Wins $100,000 Playing Bonus Match 5
A Rising Sun man claimed not one, but two, Bonus Match 5 top prizes today resulting in a $100,000 windfall. In order to win that staggering amount, he had to buy two tickets with the exact same numbers…for the same drawing.
Today’s winner, a railroad inspector, has played these lucky Bonus Match 5 numbers almost every day for several years. He routinely plays them – a combination of family birthdays and anniversaries – twice, two tickets with the exact same numbers. When officials asked why, he simply held up his two $50,000 checks. “I’ve had pretty good luck with Bonus Match 5,” he said. “So I started getting two tickets so I’d get double the prize, $800 instead of $400, $60 instead of $30.” Luckily for him and his family, in this case the difference is $100,000 instead of $50,000.
