BALTIMORE, MD – A dedicated Maryland Lottery player from Baltimore has won a $50,000 top prize in the Pick 5 game. Despite this significant win, the enthusiast is setting his sights higher, aiming for a jackpot of $300 million or more in either the Powerball or Mega Millions.
The winner, who plays Lottery games daily, has his heart set on winning “the big one,” stating that anything less than a $300 million jackpot wouldn’t excite him as much. His ambition is fueled by a desire to take care of others, and while grateful for the Pick 5 prize, he views it as a step toward his ultimate goal.
This $50,000 win surpasses his previous record of $15,000, marking a new personal best in his lottery-playing history. He plans to use the winnings to pay off his truck, keeping an eye on the upcoming Powerball and Mega Millions drawings, which boast estimated jackpots of $457 million and $306 million, respectively.
The winning ticket was purchased at Pop’s Liquors and Grocery, located at 2320 Wilkens Avenue in Baltimore. The store will receive a $500 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for selling the winning ticket, celebrating their contribution to the winner’s journey toward his multimillion-dollar dream.
