Fourteen Pick 5 tickets hit for $50K each Sunday, including 10 sold at the same Hanover gas station.
BALTIMORE, MD – Maryland Lottery players unleashed a stunning run of big wins last week, led by 14 Pick 5 tickets worth $50,000 apiece in a single Sunday night drawing — including 10 sold at one Exxon in Hanover.
The Sept. 27 evening Pick 5 number was 62626, and 14 tickets matched it in exact order for top prizes totaling $700,000. Ten of those winners came from Exxon at 7671 Arundel Mills Boulevard in Hanover, representing $500,000 in prizes from one location.
The wild Pick 5 streak helped drive a week in which 50 Maryland Lottery tickets delivered prizes of $10,000 or more. Across all games and prize levels, statewide winnings for Sept. 21 through Sept. 27 topped $29.5 million.

The Sunday night result was the biggest cluster of major Pick 5 winners during the week.
According to the Maryland Lottery Pick 5 game information, players can win by matching numbers in exact or any order depending on the wager selected.
All 10 of the $50,000 Hanover tickets were listed as unclaimed when the Lottery released its weekly winner roundup.
Two more $50,000 Pick 5 tickets from the same drawing were sold at State Line Market in Silver Spring. Royal Farms in Camp Springs and Tucker’s Liquors and Restaurant in Upper Marlboro each sold another $50,000 winner.
Rockville Store Lands Five More $50K Tickets
Sunday’s explosion of winners was not the only unusual Pick 5 result.
The Sept. 22 midday drawing produced five $50,000 tickets, all sold at Ollie’s Beer, Wine & Deli at 2011 Veirs Mill Road in Rockville.
Those five tickets matched 88768 in exact order, creating another $250,000 cluster of prizes from a single Maryland retailer.
The heavy run of wins made Pick 5 the dominant game in the Lottery’s weekly list of major prizes.
