ANNE ARUNDEL CO., MD – In Anne Arundel County, a 26-year-old contractor found himself in an unexpectedly fortunate situation. Initially, his plan was simple: to purchase a few scratch-off tickets as a birthday present for his mother. However, he made a spontaneous decision at the last moment, opting to include a couple of games for himself. This impromptu choice led him to a game-changing discovery – one of the instant tickets he bought, a $50,000 Cash game, turned out to be a top-prize winner of $50,000.
Reflecting on the turn of events, the Severn resident shared, “I really had no plan to buy a ticket for myself. It was just a spur-of-the-moment kind of thing.” As he scratched the ticket outside of Dash In #70792, a wave of shock washed over him as he gazed upon the substantial prize. He admitted, “I seriously thought for a minute that I was having a heart attack.”
This $20 game, which made its debut in late December, stands out due to the 160 top prizes it offered. With this recent Anne Arundel County win, there are still 96 top prizes that remain unclaimed. The fortunate Dash In located at 7845 Quarterfield Road in Severn, where the ticket was sold, will receive a $500 bonus from the Lottery for selling the top-prize winning ticket.
The winner, who is on the lookout for a new house, expressed his plans for the prize money, stating, “This $50,000 will really help my down payment fund.”
