SEVERNA PARK, Md. — A casual lottery purchase turned into a six-figure surprise for a local woman who thought she’d bought a losing ticket—until the screen told her otherwise.
Brenda, a resident of Severna Park, claimed a $134,985 progressive jackpot on the FAST PLAY Grand Progressive game Friday after purchasing the ticket at the 7-Eleven located at 162 Ritchie Highway on April 13.
Initially unsure whether she had won anything, Brenda scanned the ticket’s QR code at the store’s ticket checker. The machine briefly went blank before displaying the prompt: “Go to Lottery.” That’s when she knew something was different.
Upon further inspection, Brenda spotted a winning match on her ticket: the number 25 appeared both in the “Winning Numbers” section and in the “Your Numbers” row, paired with the progressive jackpot symbol. The total prize listed for the jackpot was $134,985.
The Anne Arundel County winner said she plans to put the money toward her retirement savings.
Game launched earlier this month
The $10 Grand Progressive game, which began on April 1, has awarded four progressive jackpots to date. Brenda joins earlier winners from La Plata, Odenton, and a Pennsylvania resident who purchased a winning ticket in Laurel.
The game originally launched with 28 progressive jackpots; 24 remain as of Friday. Each jackpot resets to $100,000 and increases with each ticket sold. All six $50,000 second-tier prizes and 45 $10,000 third-tier prizes also remain unclaimed.
