The Week in Winners: Powerball Millionaire Tops Lottery Leaderboard as Players Won $31.2 Million Last Week

The excitement of a massive Powerball jackpot had subsided by the beginning of last week after a $1.787 billion prize in the Sept. 6 drawing was shared by tickets sold in Missouri and Texas. But there is a chance for a substantial win in every drawing, as demonstrated by a Maryland Lottery player in Prince George’s County who won a $1 million Powerball prize this past weekend.

Others across the state won big as well, including a Gaithersburg player who hit for $311,795 on a FAST PLAY game and two players who won $100,000 each on scratch-off tickets sold in Frederick and Hebron, respectively.

Across Maryland, and across all games, the Lottery paid more than $31.2 million in prizes during the week of Sept. 8-14, including 43 tickets worth $10,000 or more that were sold or redeemed in that seven-day span.

Winners are encouraged to sign the backs of tickets and keep winning tickets in a safe location. Tickets for draw games expire 182 days after the drawing date. FAST PLAY tickets expire 182 days after purchase. The last dates to claim for scratch-off tickets are posted on the scratch-offs page at mdlottery.com.

Winners of prizes larger than $25,000 must redeem tickets at the Maryland Lottery Customer Resource Center in Baltimore, which is open by appointment only. Prizes up to $25,000 can be claimed at the cashier window of any of the six casinos in Maryland. Prizes 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 redeem tickets worth up to and including $600. More information is available on the How to Claim page of the Lottery website.
