LANDOVER, MD – A D.C. man who works in Landover is $100,000 wealthier after winning the jackpot in the Mega 7 scratch-off lottery this week.

Now, the man who said he’s still shaking from the win wants to take a few days off work to go on vacation in Miami.

“I’m still shaking,” he said, showing Lottery officials that his hand was visibly trembling.

“A regular Pick 4 player, the 35-year-old only became interested in scratch-offs recently when a friend started winning three- and four-digit prizes. Our $100,000 Mega 7s winner works in Landover and that’s also the location of his lucky Lottery retailer,” the Maryland Lottery said in a statement today. “The day of his big win, the District man stopped by Ardwick Liquors to buy three of the $10 Mega 7s games. He scratched them off while on a break at his work. The first two instant tickets were not winners. When he revealed the top-prize win on the third scratch-off, the lucky player said he nearly fell to the floor.”


Before taking the break that revealed his big win, the player had put in a time-off request for a vacation in Miami, Fla. In addition to having some extra spending money when he goes on that vacation, the lucky man also has a short to-do list for his prize: get a car, pay off some bills and look into setting up his own business.
