Westminster, MD A Carroll County woman spent $20 on Maryland Lottery tickets, leading to a $50,000 win from a $5 scratch-off game. The resident purchased the tickets during her routine grocery store visit.

Father-daughter duo hits $50,000 jackpot with Bonus Match 5 ticket
BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD. – A Bonus Match 5 quick pick ticket has won a $50,000 prize for a father and daughter from Baltimore County. The father purchased the ticket earlier this month at his preferred retailer before returning home for a nap.
The next morning, he checked the Lottery app and saw a message indicating he needed to take the ticket to the Lottery. “I knew it had to be the big prize, because I wouldn’t get that kind of message for a smaller prize,” he stated.
After learning of the win, the father shared the news with his daughter. “He came upstairs and showed me the ticket and said, ‘I told you we were going to visit the Lottery one day,’” she reported while claiming the prize with her father.
To confirm their win, the pair visited their local Lottery retailer, where their ticket was scanned and verified. They visited the Lottery headquarters last week to claim the prize.
The winners plan to share the $50,000 prize, pay some bills, make home improvements, and save the remainder.
The retailer, Lakeside Liquors, located at 9229 Lakeside Boulevard in Owings Mills, will receive a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
This father-daughter team made a trip to the Lottery that will change their lives.

BROOKLYN PARK, MD — An Ocean City resident recently returned to her former neighborhood and won $50,000 playing the Maryland Lottery. The retired retail associate claimed the top prize from the $5 Break The Bank scratch-off ticket on October 9 at a Brooklyn Park convenience store.
“I use lucky numbers,” she said during her visit to Lottery headquarters. The woman explained that she selects her tickets based on numbers that hold significance to her, often tied to important family dates.

Break The Bank was introduced in retailers’ ticket display boxes in August. The latest win leaves five $50,000 prizes and seven $5,000 second-tier prizes still available.
