The Week in Winners: Scratch-offs Deliver Week’s Biggest Prizes as Jackpots Keep Rising

More than $42 million in prizes won in the past week throughout Maryland

Maryland Lottery scratch-off tickets sold in District Heights, Cumberland and Silver Spring were responsible for life-changing prizes last week. But the potential for even bigger prizes awaits, as the the surging jackpots in Mega Millions and Powerball fueled substantial wins in Charlotte Hall, Hyattsville and Easton.

The Lottery awarded the first of four $5 million top prizes on the $5,000,000 CASH scratch-off game on a ticket sold in District Heights. A $2,000,000 Gold Rush ticket gave a Cumberland resident the last of that game’s $2 million top prizes. And a $250,000 Cash Winfall ticket sold in Silver Spring paid a $250,000 top prize.

With the Powerball jackpot rolling to an estimated annuity value of $645 million prior to the March 18 drawing, there were a pair of $50,000-winning tickets sold last week in Charlotte Hall and Hyattsville. The Mega Millions jackpot for the March 19 drawing stands at an estimated annuity value of $875 million, which would make it the sixth-largest in the game’s history if there is a winner. A Mega Millions ticket worth $10,000 was sold last week in Easton.

In all, 34 Maryland Lottery tickets worth $10,000 or more were purchased or claimed in the week ending March 17, and players won prizes totaled more than $42.1 million in that span.

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 redeem tickets up to and including $600. More information is available on the How To Claim page of mdlottery.com.
