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.
While she does not regularly play the lottery, she felt a strong impulse to buy tickets. “Something, maybe a voice, I don’t know, just something told me to spend $20 on lottery tickets,” she stated on Tuesday while claiming her prize.
At the Weis store, she chose four $5 scratch-offs despite an initial hesitation. The store receives a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

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.
The winner plays almost every day and has had previous success, including three wins of $5,000 each. Her recent winning number is linked to a relative who died recently.
“It feels like she helped it happen,” she said. The winner reported an emotional experience after scratching the ticket, noting a butterfly landed on her table shortly thereafter.
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.
The retailer, Charlie Wards at 4607 4th Street in Brooklyn Park, will receive a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
This win adds to the growing excitement around the Maryland Lottery and its scratch-off games.
