ROCKVILLE, MD – A local man from Rockville, Maryland, experienced a remarkable stroke of luck when he won the top prize of $50,000 in a scratch-off lottery game. The winner, who regularly plays Lottery scratch-offs, decided to stick with his preferred $50,000 Cash game during his visit to Ollie’s Beer, Wine & Deli in Rockville.
On that fateful day, the avid lottery player chose to purchase only a $50,000 Cash scratch-off, foregoing other favorites like Pick 4 and Racetrax. His decision paid off when he scratched the ticket to reveal a matching number, securing his $50,000 win. The winner expressed his astonishment at the unexpected victory.
He recounted his disbelief to Lottery officials, stating, “I always thought it wasn’t possible for me to win a top prize. I play so often but it never mattered to me.”
After the win, the Rockville resident hurried home, sharing the news with just a close friend. He plans to use the winnings to pay bills and support his family.
Ollie’s Beer, Wine & Deli, located at 2011 Veirs Mill Road, also benefits from the win, earning a $500 bonus from the Lottery for selling the winning ticket.
