BALTIMORE, MD- In what seemed like an ordinary day of playing the Lottery, a fortunate Glen Burnie man experienced a twist of fate when he realized his $10 winning scratch-off was actually worth a whopping $100,000. This unexpected turn of events made it a memorable day for the avid scratch-off enthusiast.
The 65-year-old player decided to test his luck at Buy N Go in Glen Burnie, where he purchased an instant ticket from the Gold X50 scratch-off series. Eager to uncover his potential winnings, he wasted no time scratching off the ticket right after leaving the store. Initially, he believed he had only won $10, discovering a single matching number. However, as he continued scratching, he discovered a second match, realizing his miscalculation.
“I thought wrong,” he admitted. The retiree from Anne Arundel County, who has been enjoying retirement for the past two years, shared that his plans for the unexpected windfall involve taking care of his family.
The Gold X50 scratch-off game, which debuted in January, initially featured 10 $100,000 top prizes. With this lucky win, there are now two top prizes remaining, along with two $50,000 prizes and 11 $10,000 prizes up for grabs. Part of the Gold Multiplier family of games, Gold X50 also offers players a chance to participate in the Gold Multiplier second-chance promotion. Those interested in entering for a chance to win $50,000 have upcoming deadlines on May 22 and June 19.
In addition to the fortunate winner, Buy N Go located at 13 Aquahart Road in Glen Burnie also shares in the win. As the retailer that sold the winning scratch-off ticket worth $100,000, they will receive a $1,000 bonus.
