Non-Football Fan from Nottingham Wins $50,000 on Ravens X10 Scratch-off

The Ravens may be off to a disappointing start after week 1’s heartbreaking defeat, but a man from Nottingham – who isn’t even a football fan – is a big winner, thanks to the Maryland Lottery’s Ravens X10 scratch-off.

The warehouse worker was shopping in Perry Hall and decided to buy a scratch-off at the nearby Perry Hall BP at 8809 Belair Road. He scratched the ticket to reveal he is a $50,000 second-tier prize winner on the $10 game.

He revealed Sept. 11, when he claimed the prize at Lottery headquarters in Baltimore, that he doesn’t watch football, but he is a fan of the artwork on the ticket.

The Baltimore County man matched one of his numbers on the ticket to a $50,000 square. His son accompanied him to Lottery headquarters and explained that his father was happy, but didn’t want to bring attention to himself in the store after he noticed the win.

“He wanted to keep it to himself. He checked it and got out of the store without showing any excitement,” his son said.

The son said his father plans to use the prize on a home improvement project.

The Ravens X10 and the $2 Ravens X2 tickets were released Aug. 20. The $10 game has four top-prizes of $200,000 and four prizes of $50,000, along with prizes ranging from $10 to $1,000. This is the first $50,000 claimed, leaving three unclaimed, and all $200,000 prizes remained unclaimed as of Sept. 12.
