Upon scanning the MONOPOLY X50 ticket, he revealed the substantial win and asked the cashier to confirm the result.
Excited by the news, he called his wife to share the good fortune, which brought her great joy.
The HVAC technician promptly made an appointment to claim his winnings. He plans to allocate some funds for the upcoming holidays and save the remainder.

Brothers score $500,000 lottery win after dream reveals numbers
Brothers score $500,000 lottery win after dream reveals numbers
Clarksburg, MD
A pair of brothers from Western Maryland won $500,000 in the Lottery’s Pick 5 drawing. The winning numbers were revealed in a dream experienced by the younger brother prior to the Oct. 29 drawing.
On Oct. 31, the brothers visited the Lottery headquarters to claim their winnings, with each receiving $250,000 after purchasing $10 worth of Pick 5 straight bet tickets. The winning number, 13605, has no significance to either sibling other than its origin in the younger brother’s dream.
Following the dream, the younger brother, who lives in Hagerstown, shared the number with his older sibling in Frederick. The younger brother purchased 10 tickets shortly before noon at the Liberty gas station located at 23300 Clarksburg Road.
The winning numbers were drawn about an hour later. Decades earlier, the younger brother began playing the Lottery after a cousin commented on his license plate. He played the digits 149 and won a Pick 3 prize, leading to a lasting interest in Lottery games, including Pick, Racetrax, and Keno.
When asked about plans for their winnings, the older brother stated uncertainty. The money will be saved for the future, as one brother is retired and the other is semi-retired.
The Liberty gas station that sold the winning tickets will receive a $5,000 bonus for their sale.
