Baltimore Woman Wins $50K On $20 Scratch-Off

by Erica Schmidt

BALTIMORE, MD- The $20 $50,000 Cash scratch-off game has brought joy to numerous players since its launch in late December. Among the lucky winners is a home loan specialist who initially disliked the game but ended up falling in love with it after winning the $50,000 top prize.

The Western Maryland resident shared her experience with Lottery officials, stating, “I bought three tickets and took them out to my car. And, to be honest, I was a bit annoyed when I didn’t do as well with them as I’d hoped.”

However, just before leaving High’s #013 in Middletown, something prompted her to give the game another chance. She decided to purchase one more ticket, a decision that would prove to be life-changing.

Filled with disbelief, the fortunate winner claimed her $50,000 prize at Lottery headquarters in Baltimore. She expressed her astonishment, saying, “I’ve always wanted to win a big prize like this, the same way everyone does, but I never expected I would. Every time I played, though, I’d hope and hope that it would happen.” Her wish finally came true with the $50,000 Cash scratch-off.

When the game was initially introduced, it gained attention for offering 160 $50,000 top prizes. With the winner’s ticket purchased from High’s #013 at 4301 Old National Pike in Middletown, there are still 105 top prizes remaining. Additionally, there are 116 second-tier prizes worth $5,000 that have yet to be claimed.

The management at High’s store, which played a significant role in the winner’s Lottery luck, will receive a $500 bonus from the Maryland Lottery. Congratulations to both the fortunate winner and the High’s store for their involvement in this remarkable win.
