BELCAMP, MD – In a twist of fate, a Harford County woman’s recent cruise vacation turned into a lucrative opportunity when her five-digit cruise ship cabin number resulted in a jaw-dropping $50,000 win in the July 4 Pick 5 evening drawing.
The 78-year-old lucky winner, an avid player of Lottery games, purchased her winning $1 straight-bet ticket at the All in One Convenience Store, conveniently located at 1327 Policy Drive in Belcamp. This retailer has become her go-to destination for purchasing Lottery tickets. On July 4, she bought tickets for the evening’s Pick 5 drawing, as well as tickets for several upcoming midday and evening drawings.
Little did she know that her decision to play her cruise ship cabin number would lead to such a life-changing outcome. Returning from her cruise just two weeks prior, the realization that her ticket had matched the winning numbers filled her with a mix of excitement and awe. The fortunate winner intends to utilize her prize money to pay off bills and tackle some much-needed home repairs. As a retired IT professional, she enjoys indulging in activities like reading, cooking, and line dancing during her leisure time.
The All in One Convenience Store, responsible for selling the winning Pick 5 ticket worth $50,000, will receive a $500 bonus from the Lottery as a token of appreciation for their part in this stroke of luck.
