$20 ticket turns into $500,000 shock win for Hagerstown man
Hagerstown, MD — A decision to try a higher-priced scratch-off paid off in a major way when a Hagerstown man uncovered a $500,000 top prize while carefully playing through his ticket.
The Washington County resident, who works in quality control, purchased a $20 Gifts of Green scratch-off and took his time revealing each section. During the process, he uncovered an instant $500,000 prize.
The winning ticket was purchased at AC&T convenience store in Hagerstown. The retailer will receive a $1,000 bonus for selling the top-prize ticket.
