LAUREL, MD — A retired nonprofit worker from Prince George’s County is the latest big winner in the Maryland Lottery’s MONOPOLY Second-Chance Promotion, claiming a rolling cash jackpot worth $112,853.
Jocelyn Quinitchette of Laurel was selected from more than 14 million entries in the May 6 drawing. Initially thinking she had won $12,000, she later realized she had actually secured the full six-figure jackpot.
The win was confirmed after a Maryland Lottery official left her a voicemail, prompting her to check the official website. After spotting her name listed as the winner, she realized the actual prize was significantly larger than she expected.
Retired nonprofit worker plans to buy new car with winnings
Quinitchette, a frequent My Lottery Rewards participant, said she plans to use the winnings to purchase a new vehicle. She entered the MONOPOLY Second-Chance drawing by submitting eligible non-winning tickets through the Maryland Lottery’s digital rewards platform.
In addition to the top prize winner, five other players in the same drawing each won $5,000.
The MONOPOLY-themed promotion is one of several second-chance programs the Maryland Lottery offers, giving players added opportunities to win cash prizes beyond the initial game.
