Loyal player of 47 years claims $50,000 prize
Many players enter a casino hoping to win a big prize but it was only when a Glen Burnie man started leaving the establishment that his hopes became reality. The loyal player bought a $50,000 top-prize winning Lots of Cash scratch-off.
The Anne Arundel County resident explained that he felt lucky on the 4th of July and followed an urge to go to Live! Casino & Hotel. He later thought his feeling was an illusion, however, as he didn’t have much luck. At the last minute, while on his way out of the building, the Lottery fan decided to purchase a scratch-off at the onsite Lottery kiosk.
The retired maintenance worker took the $5 Lots of Cash instant ticket home to play. He scratched it off and saw that he had matched the winning number of 30 for the $50,000 prize. That news, which he shared with his wife, soon had the couple jumping up and down with excitement, he told Lottery officials. The dedicated Lottery player of 47 years plans to use the windfall to pay bills.
Live! Casino & Hotel, located at 7002 Arundel Mills in Hanover, can also celebrate. The Anne Arundel County business will receive a $500 Lottery bonus for selling a $50,000 top-prize winning scratch-off.
Lots of Cash went on sale on June 17. Our winner claimed the second of eight top prizes in the game, leaving plenty remaining that range from $5 to $50,000. A Baltimore City employee was our first Lots of Cash top-prize winner. The game continues to grow in popularity and in the week ending June 30 had become the fourth most popular scratch-off in Maryland.
