Second-chance winner Carolyn Perkins of Forest Heights won a VIP trip to Los Angeles to see a Let’s Make a Deal® taping. She’ll join four other Lottery winners and will have the chance to win.
What’s behind curtain number 2? It’s Forest Heights resident Carolyn Perkins, who was selected as a Maryland Lottery’s Let’s Make a Deal second-chance promotion trip winner.
With the win, Carolyn will join four other Maryland Lottery winners on a four-day VIP trip for two to Los Angeles, CA to see a taping of the Let’s Make a Deal game show. In addition to round trip air transportation and hotel accommodations, each winner will receive $1,660 in spending money, a hosted tour of Los Angeles landmarks, and more.
According to the 73-year-old, news of the win was totally unexpected. Although she didn’t believe it at first, when reality set in Carolyn said she had to call her daughter to share her good news.
Carolyn told Lottery officials that she has never been to Los Angeles, but she always thought it would be fun to be on the show watching someone go for the big deal.
“That’s one of the game shows I used to watch with my mom, and then with my daughter and granddaughter,” she said.
She and her daughter will make dreams of being on the show realities next year when they join the other Maryland Lottery winners on the soundstage for their favorite game show. The only detail left: what costume to wear? Winners will have the opportunity to visit a costume shop to purchase a costume to wear to the show, where they will “play along” with show contestants for that taping to win up to $3,000.
Perkins joins Wallace Thrash of Clinton and Upper Marlboro resident John Barnes who won in the first and third second-chance drawings, respectively.
For players still looking for their chance to win, there are two drawings remaining in the second-chance promotion. Players who enter non-winning Let’s Make a Deal scratch-offs into My Lottery Rewards are automatically entered into the promotion for a chance to win $5,000 cash or a trip to Hollywood. Remaining deadlines to enter are Aug. 11 and Sept. 8.
