OXON HILL, MD- After years of buying scratch-off tickets, one Oxon Hill resident’s perseverance finally paid off in a big way. The 52-year-old Uber driver, who has been playing the Lottery for decades, had won smaller prizes in the past but had always dreamed of hitting the jackpot. Last week, Lady Luck smiled upon him, rewarding his patience with a $50,000 prize, courtesy of the Million Dollar Mega Multiplier, a $20 game that debuted a year ago.
It all began with a routine stop for gas at the Zip In Mart, located at 6801 Livingston Road in Oxon Hill. Being an Uber driver, he frequently needed to fill up his tank, and many gas stations also sold Lottery tickets, making it convenient for him. Having had luck with the Million Dollar Mega Multiplier before, he decided to purchase two tickets. Unfortunately, those initial attempts didn’t yield any wins. However, he had two more $20 bills in his wallet, and on a whim, he bought one more ticket.
As he began scratching the ticket, he noticed something unusual – there were several big money prizes on it, something he hadn’t seen before. Without wasting any time, he rushed home to share the incredible news with his wife. At first, she found it hard to believe, but when it finally sank in, both of them couldn’t contain their joy, leading to moments of sheer celebration.
The Million Dollar Mega Multiplier game features a $1 million top prize, and fortunately, two of these prizes are still available for lucky players to uncover. Additionally, two more $50,000 prizes are up for grabs, making the game even more enticing for those hoping to strike gold.
For the fortunate Oxon Hill resident, the decades of playing scratch-off tickets finally culminated in an unforgettable moment that will forever be cherished.
