BALTIMORE, MD- A Baltimore City resident’s uncertainty about his winnings in the FAST PLAY High Roller Blackjack progressive jackpot game turned into sheer delight when he arrived at Maryland Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. The lucky player was in for a pleasant surprise as he learned that his prize amounted to an astonishing $277,886.
As a warehouse worker, this fortunate individual has a penchant for playing national jackpot games on a daily basis. On this particular occasion, he visited Kwik Mart in Baltimore to purchase a Powerball ticket. However, his attention was drawn to the FAST PLAY game displayed on the self-serve vending machine, prompting him to make a serendipitous purchase.
The 40-year-old jackpot winner chose to keep his Lottery luck to himself, not revealing the news to anyone. However, his intuition led him to believe that he had indeed won the $277,886 jackpot when he attempted to purchase another High Roller Blackjack ticket, only to find that the game was no longer available. It turns out that the $10 game was scheduled to close upon the jackpot being hit.
Kwik Mart, the fortunate retailer where the winning ticket was sold, also reaps the benefits of this exciting outcome. Located at 6656 Belair Road, the store will receive a well-deserved $1,000 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for selling a winning FAST PLAY ticket worth $100,000 or more.
