The other $50,000 winners came from tickets purchased in Clements, Frederick, Gaithersburg, Olney, and Temple Hills, with winnings spread across various games including Pick 5, scratch-offs, and Bonus Match 5.

In total, the Maryland Lottery paid out nearly $30 million in prizes during the week, including 28 tickets worth $10,000 or more. Notable wins included two separate $40,000 Keno hits, a $24,640 Racetrax ticket in Laurel, and a $20,000 Mega Millions ticket sold in Hyattsville, which remained unclaimed as of July 21.
