CUMBERLAND, MD—A Western Maryland truck driver has become the state’s latest lottery millionaire after winning a top prize from a FAST PLAY MONOPOLY™ Properties ticket. The winner, a Cumberland resident, shared his excitement and disbelief upon claiming his $1 million prize at Lottery headquarters on Tuesday.
Purchasing the winning ticket at Circle K #4198 in Cumberland, the man’s win came after a series of fortunate events beginning with a stop for gas and coffee. With an initial $5 investment, he won $25 from a FAST PLAY game, which he then used to try his luck on the MONOPOLY Properties game, a decision that led to his million-dollar discovery. Despite his initial skepticism due to the early hour, confirmation from the store’s ticket checker turned his doubt into overwhelming joy.
The fortunate winner, no stranger to lottery wins but never of this magnitude, plans to use the winnings to purchase property, a dream come true for him and his family. This prize, he says, represents a significant blessing for his family and future generations.
