The Week in Winners: $1 Million Scratch-off Sold in Essex is Lottery’s Largest Prize of the Week

Players across the state won nearly $27.9 in prizes during week ending Oct. 17

A newly minted millionaire in Essex claimed the top Maryland Lottery ticket of the past week, and two other players — one in Baltimore and one in Dundalk — picked up $100,000 prizes, all won on scratch-off tickets.

In all, 23 players across the state won or claimed prizes of $10,000 or more, and the Lottery paid nearly $27.9 million in prizes in the seven days ending Oct. 17.

Winners of prizes larger than $25,000 must redeem their tickets at the Maryland Lottery Claims Center in Baltimore, which is open by appointment only. Prizes of up to $5,000 can be claimed at any of more than 400 Expanded Cashing Authority Program (XCAP) locations. All Maryland Lottery retailers are authorized to cash tickets up to and including $600. More information is available on the How To Claim page of mdlottery.com.
