CAMBRIDGE, MD – A Pick 3 and Pick 4 enthusiast from Cambridge branched out his lottery selections and was rewarded with a $100,000 top prize in the Bonus Buck$ scratch-off game.
The 74-year-old Dorchester County resident, usually a player of Pick 3 and Pick 4, bought a $10 Bonus Buck$ ticket on a whim. Accompanied by his wife, who is also a regular lottery player, he claimed his winnings at Maryland Lottery headquarters in Baltimore. “It’s a blessing,” he stated.
The couple plans to invest some of their winnings in household improvements. The man also said he would continue to play his favorite games, including national jackpot games. “I want to win Mega Millions!” he exclaimed.
Happy Market, the retailer that sold the winning ticket at 222 Washington Street in Cambridge, will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Lottery, equal to 1% of the prize amount. This marks the first top prize claimed in the Bonus Buck$ game, leaving seven more top prizes of $100,000 still available.
