CECIL COUNTY, MD — A casual stop at a local Royal Farms in Port Deposit turned into a life-changing event for a Cecil County man, who won the top prize of $100,000 on a Bingo X10 scratch-off ticket. The lucky winner, who opted to stay anonymous, was initially unaware of the magnitude of his win.
The moment of surprise came when he scanned the ticket at the store and was directed to the Maryland Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. Initially, both he and his wife believed they had won a few thousand dollars. The true value of the ticket was only revealed when they scanned it at home, discovering it was actually worth $100,000.
Expressing his disbelief, the winner, a maintenance worker, shared his joy and plans for the prize money, including paying off his mortgage and fixing his wife’s car. The couple is no stranger to lottery luck, as his wife had previously won a significant amount on another scratch-off a few years back.
The Royal Farms store located at 1336 Jacob Tome Memorial Highway in Cecil County, where the ticket was purchased, will also benefit from the win, receiving a $1,000 bonus. The Bingo X10 scratch-off game, which was launched on March 18, 2024, still offers three remaining top prizes of $100,000 and numerous other smaller prizes.
