BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD. – A Bonus Match 5 quick pick ticket has won a $50,000 prize for a father and daughter from Baltimore County. The father purchased the ticket earlier this month at his preferred retailer before returning home for a nap.
The next morning, he checked the Lottery app and saw a message indicating he needed to take the ticket to the Lottery. “I knew it had to be the big prize, because I wouldn’t get that kind of message for a smaller prize,” he stated.
After learning of the win, the father shared the news with his daughter. “He came upstairs and showed me the ticket and said, ‘I told you we were going to visit the Lottery one day,’” she reported while claiming the prize with her father.
To confirm their win, the pair visited their local Lottery retailer, where their ticket was scanned and verified. They visited the Lottery headquarters last week to claim the prize.
The winners plan to share the $50,000 prize, pay some bills, make home improvements, and save the remainder.
The retailer, Lakeside Liquors, located at 9229 Lakeside Boulevard in Owings Mills, will receive a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
