DENTON, MD — A Caroline County woman has claimed the first $50,000 top prize in Maryland Lottery’s new Gold Bar Bingo scratch-off game.

The winner, who regularly plays Maryland Lottery games and favors new scratch-offs, purchased the $5 ticket at the Shell gas station at 1101 Shore Highway in Denton. Her card formed an X pattern, earning the game’s top-tier prize.

She claimed her winnings on July 23 at Lottery headquarters and said her immediate plans include paying off personal expenses. The retailer will receive a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

Gold Bar Bingo, which launched July 18, started with eight top prizes of $50,000. Following this win, seven remain, along with 10 prizes at the $10,000 level and tens of thousands of lower-tier prizes.
