Essex Woman Wins $50K Lottery Prize, Plans to Buy New Car

Baltimore, MD — A Baltimore County woman’s lottery dreams came true when she won a $50,000 top prize in the FAST PLAY Lightning Cash game.

The anonymous winner, who goes by the nickname “Mary,” has been playing lottery games for over 20 years. She purchased her winning ticket at the Royal Farms on Pulaski Highway in White Marsh. After scanning the ticket, she was shocked to see she had hit the $50,000 jackpot.

“Mary” plans to use her winnings to buy a new family car and boost her savings. The lucky Royal Farms store will also receive a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket. There are still 13 more $50,000 top prizes left in the Lightning Cash game.
