Code New Carrollton, MD – A Prince George’s County mechanic’s childhood memories led to a lucky win in the evening drawing last week, as he scooped up a $50,000 Pick 5 prize/.
The fortunate winner, a resident of New Carrollton, disclosed his penchant for trying his luck often, whether through Lottery tickets or casino visits, expressing his enjoyment of envisioning the possibilities of a big win. His $2 Pick 5 ticket, purchased on Feb. 5 at the A-1 Laundromat in Riverdale, bore the number combination matching his childhood home’s ZIP code, 20783, a choice he frequently makes.
Spotting the familiar numbers in the Feb. 5 evening drawing on the Lottery website, the loyal player initially hurried to confirm his ticket purchase for that day, ensuring he hadn’t missed out due to a busy schedule. Reflecting on the near-miss, he remarked, “Can you imagine if that had been the one day I didn’t play my numbers?”
With the windfall, the lucky player intends to allocate funds towards bill payments, sharing with family members, and maintaining his lucky laundromat as a regular stop in his routine.
