BEL AIR, Md. — A Harford County woman has claimed a $287,056 progressive jackpot, the final prize in the Maryland Lottery’s FAST PLAY Wild Bonus X10 game.

The Bel Air resident initially thought she encountered an error message when scanning her $10 ticket, only to realize the “Go to Lottery” alert signaled her massive win. A closer look at her ticket revealed she matched the first number in the game’s first row, awarding her the progressive jackpot amount printed on the ticket.

The lucky winner, who described herself as an occasional lottery player, said she plans to use her prize money to pay off bills and invest the remainder. She purchased the ticket at BJ’s Wholesale Club, located at 413 Constant Friendship Boulevard in Abingdon.

The retailer, BJ’s Wholesale Club, will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for selling the winning ticket. With this jackpot win, the FAST PLAY Wild Bonus X10 game has officially closed.

The Harford County winner says her jackpot proves that sometimes luck strikes when the moment feels right.
