HYATTSVILLE, MD – A $100,000 scratch-off lottery ticket was sold at a Silver Springs 7-Eleven to a Hyattsville man.
According to the Maryland Lottery, the winner is a regular scratch-off player who won big on the $10 per ticket $100,000 Crossword game.
The retired grandfather of two said he and his wife will bank the winnings and save up for a trip to visit their grandchildren.
The retiree often uses a lucky dime to scratch off his instant tickets. The first game was not a winner. That second game, however, revealed a top prize. “I was so excited,” he said, adding that he immediately tried to share news of his big win.
The $100,000 Crossword Sixth Edition game went on sale in August 2022 and has two $100,000 top prizes remaining unclaimed along with six $10,000 prizes. Smaller prizes range from $10 to $1,000.
