A Baltimore woman who has been playing the Lottery for less than a year is already celebrating a major win. The rookie recently scratched her way to a $50,000 top prize on the Multiply Your Money scratch-off.
The winner, who considers herself relatively new to Lottery play, shared with officials that she has enjoyed plenty of success in her short time playing. Those frequent wins are what keep her coming back for more. A fan of scratch-offs, she favors In the Green, MONEY and Multiply Your Money because those games have been the most rewarding. Her strategy is stick with the games that have treated her well.
The evening of her big win was no different. The player recalled scratching her tickets at the end of the night, just before heading to bed. After believing she had a winning ticket, she made a trip to the store to have it verified. The moment she learned the ticket was worth $50,000, she was stunned.
“I couldn’t believe it. Even though I win often, I didn’t believe my eyes when I saw how much I had won,” she shared.
The excitement was still fresh for the winner, who had been celebrating a $500 prize from the previous week. After confirming her latest win, she quickly called her daughter to share the incredible news. Since then, she has kept the news of her win a secret, sharing it only with a few family members.
When asked about her plans for the windfall, the winner said she hopes to use the money to pay bills and help her children.
The winner found her lucky ticket at Loch Raven Exxon at 1500 East Northern Parkway in Baltimore City. The retailer that sold the winning Multiply Your Money ticket will also celebrate the player’s success. The retailer will receive a $500 bonus for selling a $50,000 top-prize winning ticket.
