HARWOOD, MD — A Maryland Lottery enthusiast, known as “Hot Streak,” has added a remarkable $50,000 to his growing list of wins from a $30 Mega Money instant ticket. The Washington, D.C. resident has been on an impressive winning spree for several months.
“Hot Streak” picked up his winning ticket, along with several others, at the 7-Eleven on Solomons Island Road in Harwood. After scratching off his instant tickets at home, he was elated to find he had scored the $50,000 prize. “I wasn’t surprised because I’ve been winning so much,” he remarked, “but I was taken aback by the amount. It’s such a blessing.”
With plans to settle some bills and save most of his winnings, “Hot Streak” exemplifies how luck can turn in an instant. The Mega Money scratch-off, which launched on April 22, 2024, still boasts four $2 million top prizes, six additional $50,000 second-tier prizes, and numerous other prizes ranging from $30 to $5,000. Players are reminded to check their tickets regularly, as luck might be just around the corner.
