BALTIMORE, Md. — Two Maryland Lottery players, one from Silver Spring and another from Ellicott City, each claimed $50,000 Powerball prizes this week, according to the Maryland Lottery.
On July 15, a Silver Spring man and his longtime friend, who lives in Florida, jointly claimed a $50,000 prize from a ticket purchased at the 7-Eleven on Fenwick Lane. The Maryland player had bought one quick-pick ticket for the June 23 drawing as part of their regular shared play routine.
The Ellicott City winner, an engineer, claimed his prize on July 16. He purchased his winning ticket at the Safeway supermarket on Montgomery Road for the June 28 drawing using five quick-pick combinations.
Both winners used the Maryland Lottery app to confirm their prizes. One of the players mentioned the money will help with an upcoming trip to Asia.
