Capitol Heights man wins nearly $50000 on Racetrax Quick Pick bet
Baltimore, MD — A Capitol Heights man’s decision to let the machine pick his horses paid off in a big way this week after a $1 Racetrax Superfecta Quick Pick bet turned into a $49,592 payday.
The longtime Racetrax player scored the top-tier win on January 7 using a five-race ticket costing just $5. The lucky numbers — 6, 8, 11, and 4 — came through in the final race of the session, securing him the biggest win of his playing history.
The winner claimed his prize at Maryland Lottery headquarters on Monday and shared that the excitement of watching the animated horses race keeps him coming back.
He purchased the winning ticket at the BP gas station located at 5818 Martin Luther King Jr. Highway in Seat Pleasant. The retailer will receive a $495.92 bonus, equal to 1% of the prize amount, for selling the winning ticket.
The player plans to put the unexpected windfall toward purchasing a vehicle.
Racetrax, a virtual horse racing game offered by the Maryland Lottery, has become a favorite among local players seeking fast-paced action and the chance at high payouts.
