BALTIMORE, MD — A birthday gathering turned into an extraordinary celebration when a Baltimore restaurant worker scratched off a Holiday Luck Doubler ticket and discovered she had won the game’s $50,000 top prize.
The birthday woman was opening gifts at a family celebration when she received the $5 scratch-off, which had been purchased as a special surprise by a relative on the way to the party. Initially disappointed after seeing no matches, she revealed the final line on the ticket and realized she had won big.
The celebration erupted as family members hugged her and shared in the excitement of her life-changing win. After taking a moment to give thanks, she rejoined the festivities, calling it a day she would never forget.
The lucky ticket was purchased at Food Stop Mini Mart, located at 4820 Boiling Brook Parkway in Rockville. The store will receive a $500 bonus for selling the top-prize ticket.
The Holiday Luck Doubler scratch-off was released in October and still has three $50,000 top prizes and three $5,000 second-tier prizes remaining.
