A lucky player has won the Multi-Match jackpot estimated at $630,000 in the drawing held on Thursday, October 12.

The winning numbers for the ticket were 18, 29, 32, 35, 38, and 40, and it was purchased from Eagles Nest gas station located at 2754 Augustine Herman Highway in Chesapeake City, Cecil County.
