POOLESVILLE, MD – An extraordinary account of three consecutive scratch-off victories at a Poolesville establishment has significantly boosted the bank account of a 64-year-old Montgomery County resident.
While passing by the MOAB Crown gas station at 17700 Elgin Road in Poolesville, the winner decided to stop and engage in his favored Lottery game: scratch-offs. Initially claiming a $50 prize, he wisely reinvested some of his winnings into additional instant tickets.
“The $50 bought the first $30 game,” he revealed. “I won $30. I said, ‘Give me another one’ and I won 50 grand!”
His chosen instant ticket was the $2,000,000 Gold Rush game, valued at $30. Introduced in February 2022, this game featured five $2 million top prizes and eight $50,000 second-tier prizes. Following the fortunate win of this Montgomery County resident, the game now holds one remaining $50,000 second-tier prize alongside one $2 million top prize. Notably, more than 250,000 other prizes are still available within a range of $30 to $5,000.
Interestingly, others at the store ignored his remarkable winning streak, as the contest winner chose to keep his triumph a secret. He tucked away the winning scratch-off without revealing his good fortune and quietly left the Lottery retailer.
He said he is sharing his victory exclusively with his wife and intends to securely store his newfound wealth in the bank for now.
