PASADENA, MD—A grandfather from Anne Arundel County struck it rich with the Maryland Lottery this month, turning a set of long-held but never-winning numbers into a $50,015 prize.

The lucky Pasadena resident, a devoted lottery enthusiast for over forty years, has enjoyed a variety of games, with Bonus Match 5 being one of his favorites. Despite his favored numbers never having won before, he persisted in playing them. On June 2, after a day’s work, he purchased a $6 ticket at Geresbeck’s Food Market in Glen Burnie, which included nine lines of his special numbers.

The following day, while checking the results on his phone at work, the retired U.S. Army veteran discovered that one of his sets had finally paid off, netting him the $50,000 top prize and an additional $15 in smaller winnings. Overwhelmed with excitement, he shared, “I jumped up for joy! I could hardly stand to wait to tell my wife when I got home.” This win is a testament to his unwavering dedication to his lottery numbers.
