KENSINGTON, MD – There were no jackpot winners in the February 26th Powerball drawing, but that doesn’t matter for a future Kensington area multimillionaire. The numbers to match were 15, 32, 36, 48, and 64; the Powerball was 19, and the Power Play multiplier was x3.
“The new multimillionaire bought the winning ticket at Rodman’s Discount Gourmet, located at 5148 Nicholson Lane in Kensington,” the Maryland Lottery said. “For selling the $2 million winning ticket, the retailer receives a $5,000 bonus from the Lottery. The $50,000 winner was purchased Shady Side Market, located at 1481 Snug Harbor Road, Shady Side.”
If you are the lucky winner, lottery officials encourage all winners to sign the backs of their tickets immediately and put them in a safe place until the prizes can be claimed. Winners have 182 days from the date of the drawing to claim prizes. After 182 days, tickets expire.
A second person bought a $50,000 winning ticket in Anne Arundel County.
Since 2022 started, luck has been on the side of Maryland lottery players. Two months into 2022, Maryland has had two players claim seven-figure prizes, one for $2 million in Baltimore City and one for $1 million in Rockville. A third player in Severn claimed a $1 million prize on Mega Millions, the Maryland Lottery Control Agency said.
