A Wicomico County man’s withdrawal from a 7-Eleven ATM led to an extra $50,000 in retirement savings. He and his wife were on their way to the Farmer’s Market in Berlin when the MONOPOLY™ man came calling.
On August 17, the husband and wife were out for a day of shopping when they stopped for cash at the 7-Eleven at 31997 Beaver Run Drive in Salisbury. As the soon-to-be winner withdrew cash for his shopping needs, he noticed a Lottery vending machine right beside the ATM and decided to try his luck on a few scratch-off games. Among the purchases was a $20 MONOPOLY™ X100 ticket.
“I always scratch the barcode first and scan the ticket,” he said Aug. 19 after claiming his prize at Lottery headquarters in Baltimore. “When the message said to visit Lottery Headquarters, I knew it was something big.”
The Parsonsburg resident returned to the car and shared the news with his wife, who was driving. He proceeded to scratch the rest of the ticket to find out how much he had won. After revealing a matching number, the amount below read $50,000.
“I looked at my wife and told her we won $50,000,” he said smiling. “She was happy because whenever I win, I always give her something.”
The couple proceeded with their day of shopping and fun.
He shared with Lottery officials that retirement is already on the horizon and the $50,000 win will add to his savings.
The $20 MONOPOLY™ X100 scratch-off game went on sale in January 2025 and is part of a Maryland Lottery family of MONOPOLY™ games.
