Hyattsville construction worker wins $100K on lucky scratch-off sold at 7-Eleven

HYATTSVILLE, MD — A Prince George’s County man claimed the first $100,000 top prize in the Maryland Lottery’s new MONOPOLY X50 scratch-off game after purchasing a ticket at a 7-Eleven in Mt. Rainier.

Roberto Fuentes Valdivia, a regular lottery player, bought five $10 MONOPOLY X50 tickets while stopping for coffee and won big on the final ticket he scratched. “Funny, it was the last ticket that was the winner,” he said.

Initially thinking he had won $100, Valdivia quickly realized his mistake when he saw the comma in the prize amount. He shared the news with family and celebrated by spending the day watching sports.

The 7-Eleven at 3310 Chillum Road, where he bought the ticket, will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Maryland Lottery. The MONOPOLY X50 game, launched on Jan. 13, still has eight remaining $100,000 top prizes and several lower-tier prizes available.
