Upper Marlboro Man Chasing Big Powerball Jackpot Lands $50,000 Prize

Another 15 players across Maryland have yet to claim big Powerball wins

The Powerball jackpot had risen to nearly $2 billion when a player from Upper Marlboro bought a single ticket on Nov. 2. He didn’t win land the jackpot, but on Nov. 23, he claimed a $50,000 prize. The jackpot ended up at a record-shattering $2.04 billion before being won in the Nov. 7 drawing on a ticket sold in California.

The Prince George’s County resident said he plans to put most of his winnings into savings, but promises a big holiday season this year for his grandchildren.

“We’re going to have a good Christmas, oh yeah!” he said, adding that he buys tickets a few times a week, when he has a hunch or is “feeling lucky.” He added that his $50,000 Powerball win is far and away the most money he has ever won. He bought the lucky ticket at Brentwood Liberty located at 3730 Rhode Island in Brentwood.

Another 15 players across Maryland who bought tickets during the big Powerball jackpot roll have yet to claim prizes ranging from $50,000 to $1 million. And another five Powerball players in Maryland have won similar amounts in drawings since the jackpot was won, but have yet to collect their winnings. Maryland Lottery draw game winners have 182 days from the drawing date to claim their prizes.
