A Maryland Lottery player from Suitland was left in disbelief after discovering she had won a staggering $57,777 prize on a Winning 7 ticket purchased from a vending machine in a grocery store.
On February 23, before embarking on her shopping trip, the lucky winner decided to try her luck with a Lottery ticket. However, upon realizing the magnitude of her win, she was so stunned that she abandoned her shopping plans and headed home instead.
Excitedly sharing the news with a niece, the pair erupted into screams of delight. The winner, who has been playing various Lottery games for years, described the prize as her biggest payout yet.
After scanning the $5 ticket at the Lottery vending machine and receiving instructions to claim the prize in person, she initially thought there was an error. However, upon verification by a clerk at the customer service desk, she was overcome with joy and decided to postpone her shopping spree.
With her newfound winnings, the Suitland resident intends to pay off her car loan, stabilize her finances, and start the search for a new home. Additionally, she plans to share her fortune by blessing her family members.
To celebrate her win, the winner and her niece, who accompanied her to claim the prize, are planning a special dinner together.
