BALTIMORE, MD — A Baltimore resident has claimed a $540,000 jackpot after winning the Multi-Match drawing on August 1 with a $2 quick-pick ticket purchased on July 31.

The lucky ticket was bought at the Sunoco located at 1400 Liberty Road in Eldersburg, marking the sixth Multi-Match jackpot awarded in Maryland this year. Previous jackpots ranged from $500,000 to $2.1 million and were won on March 25, April 29, May 30, June 3, June 20, July 15, and August 1.

The Carroll County Lottery retailer received a $1,000 bonus for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.

Each $2 ticket provides three lines of six numbers, with drawings held every Monday and Thursday night. Players must match all six numbers on a line to win the jackpot.
