BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD—A heartfelt kiss for good luck led to a Baltimore County man, known as “Rolling Thunder,” and his wife winning $90,000 at Maryland Lottery headquarters. The Vietnam veteran and his wife, married nearly 50 years, were overwhelmed with joy as the Big Spin Wheel halted on their life-changing prize.
The couple’s journey to fortune started with their shared love for Maryland Lottery scratch-offs, particularly THE BIG SPIN, which became a ritual over morning coffee. Their winning ticket, purchased from Kenwood Shell in Rosedale, proved lucky when it directed them to claim the large sum at Lottery headquarters.
“Rolling Thunder” and his wife intend to continue playing, hopeful for more wins, as they enjoy the No. 1 selling scratch-off in the Lottery lineup. Their recent gain, described by his wife as second only to their marriage in terms of great life events, will contribute towards paying bills and enhancing their comfort in retirement.
Kenwood Shell, the retailer of the winning ticket, will also receive a $900 bonus from the Maryland Lottery, celebrating the role it played in this happy outcome.
