NOTTINGHAM, Md. – A Nottingham resident, using the alias “Malcolm Reynolds,” was surprised to find a $50,000 Powerball ticket hiding in a pile of lottery tickets in his car.

A fan of the TV series Firefly, “Malcolm Reynolds” realized his habit of accumulating unscanned tickets paid off when a friend helped him check the pile using a Lottery app. After scanning smaller winning tickets, they uncovered the $50,000 third-tier prize. “I told her to scan it again,” he recalled, before double-checking the numbers online to confirm the win.

The ticket matched five numbers from the Sept. 28 Powerball drawing: 3, 11, 13, 24, and 39, with the Powerball number being 22. While he missed out on the $245 million jackpot by one number, his prize still amounted to a significant $50,000.

The winning ticket was purchased at Looney’s Pub in Bel Air, Harford County. “Malcolm Reynolds” plans to deposit his winnings into the bank.

The next Powerball drawing is set for Saturday, Oct. 19, with an estimated jackpot of $437 million and a cash option of $210.3 million.
