Last night’s Bonus Match 5 drawing produced three $50,000 winners in three communities across the state: Bladensburg, Chevy Chase and Glen Burnie.
The top-tier winning numbers drawn on Sept. 9 are all divisible by 3, being: 3, 6, 9, 18, 27. The Bonus Ball is 25 (which, of course, is not divisible by 3, but does figure into the date, 9/9/25). September, the 9th month, and 9, also are divisible by 3, and Sept. 9 is the 252nd day of the year, and 252 is evenly divisible by 3 (252÷3=84).
The $50,000 winning tickets were purchased at these three locations:
- 7-Eleven, 4199 Kenilworth Avenue, Bladensburg (Prince George’s County)
- Friendship Gourmet Market, 5550 Friendship Boulevard, Chevy Chase (Montgomery County)
- Quarterfield Auto Service, 7700 Quarterfield Road, Glen Burnie (Anne Arundel County)
These three winners bring our total of Bonus Match 5 winners to 32 for 2025.
Bonus Match 5 drawings take place seven days a week. Players select five numbers ranging from one to 39. Five numbers are drawn, then the Bonus Ball is drawn from the remaining 34 numbers. The Bonus Ball provides extra chances to win lower tier prizes. To win the $50,000 prize, the ticket must match the first five balls drawn.
Lottery officials urge winners to sign the backs of their tickets and put them in a safe place. Players have 182 days (six months) from the date of the drawing to claim the prize.
