ODENTON, Md. — A woman from Anne Arundel County is trading in her 23-year-old car after winning $50,000 from a Maryland Lottery scratch-off ticket.
She purchased the winning Cash to Go ticket on Feb. 28 at the Food Lion on Piney Orchard Parkway while grocery shopping. The longtime lottery player said she took up the hobby 15 years ago after dating someone who enjoyed scratch-offs.
“I almost passed out,” she said after realizing she had won the game’s top prize.
Her son-in-law, who is also a lottery fan, joined her at headquarters to claim the prize but was unable to share in the luck despite buying his own tickets. The store that sold the ticket will receive a $500 bonus.
