Local man hits $31,118.30 Racetrax jackpot after gym visit
GLEN BURNIE, MD – A Calvert County man won $31,118.30 playing Racetrax following a visit to the gym. He claimed his prize on October 6 at Maryland Lottery headquarters.
The winning numbers from the August 29 race when he placed his bet were 7, 9, 11, and 12. He used a Superfecta Box bet for those numbers, which secured his substantial prize.
“I almost hit it straight. That would have given me over $200,000,” the winner noted. Although a straight bet would yield a bigger payout, his Superfecta Box with a 10-cent bet per horse in all four possible positions provided a solid return.
The winner has been playing similar combinations for years. He explained that many Racetrax players opt for a Superfecta box with bets on long-odds horses like 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, and 7.
Originally a casino and racetrack gambler, he transitioned to Racetrax after being introduced by a friend. He intends to use his winnings to pay bills and take his family on vacation later this year.
The winning ticket was purchased at the 7-Eleven located at 7753B Baltimore Annapolis Boulevard. The retailer receives a 1% bonus of $311 for selling the winning ticket.
A trip to the gym just paid off big for one lucky man.
