1 min read

Baltimore, MD – A Baltimore County man has claimed the top prize in the $500,000 Crossword scratch-off game. The Gwynn Oak resident, who enjoys playing scratch-offs a couple of times each week, experienced an unexpected windfall with a winning ticket.

The fortunate landscaper purchased two $20 instant tickets from a 7-Eleven at 1001 Aviation Boulevard in Baltimore. After returning home, he discovered his success in the $500,000 Crossword game by forming ten words in the second of three puzzles, securing the top prize.

The prize winner has opted to keep his identity private. Despite his newfound wealth, he intends to use the winnings for investments rather than immediate retirement.

The 7-Eleven, where the winning ticket was sold, will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Lottery for its role in the significant win.
