BALTIMORE, MD- A talented Baltimore chef whipped up the perfect recipe for a winning day when she stumbled upon the first $50,000 top prize in the recently launched Bonus Cash Doubler game.
The 42-year-old chef, who chose to remain anonymous, decided to share her Lottery luck under the nickname “Happy and Geeky.” As a regular Maryland Lottery player, she enjoys trying her hand at a variety of scratch-offs and Racetrax tickets each week.
Although she had experienced occasional small wins before, she had never come close to anything as significant as a top prize. Everything changed when she purchased the winning scratch-off at Rieve’s Deli, located at 8374 Piney Orchard Parkway in Odenton. Upon scratching off the ticket and discovering her incredible prize, she was initially stunned and couldn’t believe her eyes. “That’s a lot of money!” exclaimed the lucky winner. She scanned the $5 instant ticket multiple times and even showed it to the deli’s owner, who couldn’t help but applaud her fantastic fortune.
On the day she claimed her prize at Lottery headquarters, “Happy and Geeky” still felt overwhelmed with shock and disbelief but expressed immense gratitude for the blessing she received. When asked about her plans for the winnings, the loyal player replied without hesitation that she intends to help her family. Having grown up very close to her sisters, she looks forward to gifting them something special. Additionally, she plans to take care of bills and indulge herself with new tech gadgets and toys as a well-deserved treat.
“Happy and Geeky” is not the only lucky one in this story. Rieve’s Deli in Anne Arundel County will also be celebrating, as the retailer will receive a $500 bonus from the Lottery for selling the top-prize winning scratch-off worth $50,000.
The Bonus Cash Doubler instant ticket hit stores on July 17, offering eight top prizes in total. As of now, there are still seven top prizes remaining, along with various other prizes ranging from $5 to $5,000, keeping players excited and hopeful for more winning moments.
