Pasadena Resident Strikes $50K with Power Cash Scratch-Off Win

Pasadena, MD – John Grimes, a Pasadena local, experienced an unexpected windfall, securing a $50,000 top prize from the Power Cash scratch-off game. The surprising win occurred as Grimes returned home from work, prompting him to stop at Dash In #15301 in Pasadena to buy gas and a few scratch-offs.

Choosing four of the $5 Power Cash tickets, the last scratch-off revealed a substantial win. Spotting a “lightning bolt” symbol, followed by a $5,000 prize and a 10X multiplier, Grimes realized his luck had turned, leading to his $50,000 prize. Doubts were dispelled after a fellow patron suggested using the scanner, which confirmed his victory.

The Anne Arundel County employee and father of three shared his excitement with his family, even leaving behind money in the Lottery vending machine in his rush to spread the good news. Grimes, familiar with the prize-claiming process through family experience, promptly visited the Lottery headquarters in Baltimore to claim his prize.

Grimes plans to allocate his winnings towards home improvements and settling some bills. Meanwhile, Dash In #15301, where the winning ticket was purchased, will receive a $500 bonus from the Lottery. With six $50,000 top prizes still up for grabs, the Power Cash scratch-off game continues to offer players the chance to win big.
