UPPER MARLBORO, MD — A Michigan traveler hit it big while visiting friends in Maryland, winning a $150,000 top prize on a Maryland Lottery scratch-off ticket. The man, who frequently buys multiple scratch-offs, purchased the $150,000 Extreme instant ticket at Xtra Fuels on Marlboro Pike in Prince George’s County.

The lucky winner, who has been playing Lottery games for 20 years, was in shock when he revealed the $150,000 prize. Unsure of what to do next, he immediately called his wife to share the life-changing news. He claimed his prize at the Lottery headquarters in Baltimore, with plans to use the winnings to pay off part of his mortgage and college loans.

The $10 scratch-off game, which launched in March, still has three $150,000 top prizes remaining, along with several other significant cash prizes.

Xtra Fuels, the retailer where the winning ticket was sold, will also celebrate with a $1,000 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for selling the top-prize ticket.
