BALTIMORE, MD — A Baltimore healthcare worker, recently returned from Texas, has won a $50,000 prize from the Maryland Lottery’s 50X The Cash scratch-off game. The victory marks a significant increase over her previous top win of $500 in the Texas Lottery.
The winner, referring to herself as “Texas Woman,” frequently played scratch-offs while in Texas, often winning smaller amounts. However, her recent purchase in Baltimore led to a substantial second-tier prize. She selects her scratch-off games based on intuition, choosing those that appeal to her on a particular day.
During a visit to Govans Marathon at 5101 York Road in Baltimore, “Texas Woman” intended to cash in a $10 winning ticket. She purchased a $10 50X The Cash scratch-off and a $3 Loteria game, later discovering the $50,000 win at home. She immediately informed her sister, who helped verify the win with a lottery app.
The sisters expressed their excitement and plans for the winnings. “Texas Woman” intends to use the prize money to improve her credit and buy a car, considering the win as a stroke of fate and a blessing. They also humorously contemplated trying their luck with Mega Millions and Powerball, with current jackpots exceeding half a billion dollars each.
