HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND – A Washington County man who sometimes playsPick 3,Powerball,Kenoand other Maryland Lottery draw games said he wasn’t much of a scratch-off fan, but that may be changing after he got a “feeling” about the instant games in late October.
“I have no idea why, but I kept thinking about scratch-off tickets,” said the caregiver from Hagerstown.
The 38-year-old stopped at The Corner Pub in Hagerstown one day after work and decided to give in to the “feeling” that he should buy a scratch-off. “I had a $5 bill in my hand and picked out the first $5 ticket I saw.”
Lottery luck made that gameMultiplier Money,an instant ticket that debuted in July. Scratching off his instant ticket later at home, he couldn’t believe his eyes. Not only was the scratch-off a winner, but he won one of the game’s $50,000 top prizes.
“I rubbed my eyes to make sure I was seeing what I was seeing,” he said. Sleeping was a challenge that night because of “so much adrenaline, so much excitement.”
