Lucky player bought ticket for June 27 drawing
Who went grocery shopping in Laurel and bagged a $50,000 winning Bonus Match 5 ticket? The Maryland Lottery is looking for the lucky player who bought a top-prize-winning ticket for the Tuesday, June 27 drawing from Giant in Laurel.
The winning ticket matches the five numbers of 4, 5, 7, 8 and 11; the Bonus Ball was 2. 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 also has reason to celebrate! The Lottery will give Giant #340 located at 1009 Fairlawn St. in Laurel a bonus of $500 for selling the top-prize winning 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!
