ABERDEEN , MARYLAND – Angel Cornier of Harford County secretly celebrates his $100,000 top-prize Ravens X5 win.
All that Angel Cornier and his girlfriend had in mind when they visited the Royal Farms store in Aberdeen over the weekend was buying chicken. Unbeknownst to them, however, a side order of Lottery luck was added to their lunch request.
“While we were waiting for the chicken, I wandered over to the Lottery vending machine,” the 45-year-old Harford County resident told Lottery officials. “I had $5 left over after paying and wanted to get a scratch-off ticket.” The first several $5 options among the machine’s selection were sold out. “The first ticket they had available was the Ravens X5 game, so that’s the one I picked.”
Back at home, after eating their meal, the couple turned to the $5 Ravens X5 scratch-off. Angel said he asked his girlfriend to do the scratching. “She looked hard at it for a minute or two and said, ‘You are not going to believe this.’ ”
The Aberdeen father plans to use his winnings as part of a down payment for a house. “This money will help settle us into a new home one day soon, which will be great for my kids. I’m very grateful.”
Royal Farms #271 at 3710 Churchville Road in Aberdeen helped Angel and his family score their $100,000 top-prize win – as well as some tasty chicken. In recognition, the Lottery will reward management there with a $1,000 bonus for selling a top-prize winning scratch-off.
