The holder of a winning ticket may win only one prize per board in connection with the winning numbers drawn, but shall be entitled to the highest prize won.
The Maryland Lottery will award $50,000 for each game board matching five of five original winning numbers (“Winning Numbers”), up to a maximum of 12 game boards. (Note: This does not include any game boards matching four of the five Winning Numbers plus the bonus ball.) In the unlikely event more than 12 game boards correctly match five of five Winning Numbers in a single drawing, each game board matching five of five Winning Numbers will receive an equal share of the $600,000 pool.
