COLUMBIA, MD – A Howard County nurse, affectionately known as “Roxie,” has claimed a $50,000 top prize in the Maryland Lottery’s Pick 5 game, marking her largest win to date. This victory in the March 26 midday drawing comes as a significant uplift, surpassing her previous win of $20,000 from the same game three years ago.

Roxie purchased her winning ticket at Cradlerock Food Mart in Columbia, using a family birthday as her lucky combination. The realization of her win came during a work break when she checked the Lottery’s website, a moment of disbelief mixed with overwhelming joy.

With plans to use her winnings wisely, Roxie aims to invest in a Baltimore property to generate new income for her family, viewing her luck as a blessing and an opportunity to build for the future.

The sale also brings good fortune to Cradlerock Food Mart, which will receive a $500 bonus from the Lottery for selling the winning ticket, celebrating the community’s success and Roxie’s newfound fortune.
