GERMANTOWN – A Germantown man had an incredible stroke of luck when he purchased a Bonus Match 5 ticket for the July 18 drawing. Little did he know that this ticket would be the best birthday gift he could ever receive, as he won an impressive $50,000 just in time for his birthday celebrations.
The 48-year-old fortunate winner discovered his winning ticket at Town Center Sunoco, situated at 19738 Germantown Road in Germantown. He decided to try his luck with a $4 ticket, using numbers from a previous drawing. As a contractor for AAA, he often uses some of his tips to buy Lottery tickets, and this time, that decision proved to be life-changing.
“It’s a blessing that it happened in time for my birthday,” the ecstatic player expressed. Adding to the significance of his win, he was in the process of discussing real estate options and considering purchasing a home before claiming the prize. The $50,000 winnings will now go towards fulfilling that dream.
In addition to the joyous celebration for the lucky winner, Town Center Sunoco also gets to share in the excitement. As a reward for selling the top-prize winning ticket in the game, the Montgomery County business will receive a $500 bonus from the Lottery.
With this incredible stroke of fortune, the Germantown man’s birthday celebrations will undoubtedly be even more memorable and joyous. Sometimes, life has a way of surprising us with unexpected gifts, and this was one such delightful surprise for the fortunate winner.
