UPPER MARLBORO, NJ – A 50,000 winning lottery ticket in last week’s big $2 billion Powerball drawing was claimed by a Prince George’s County man last week.
Although the winning ticket was claimed, there are still millions of dollars worth of unclaimed tickets sold in Maryland from the big drawing.
The lucky winner who claimed his winnings 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 prize is far and away the most money he has ever won. He bought the $2 quick-pick ticket at Brentwood Liberty located at 3730 Rhode Island Avenue 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,” the Maryland Lottery said on Monday.
Maryland Lottery draw game winners have 182 days from the drawing date to claim their prizes.
