SILVER SPRING, MD – A couple from Silver Spring won $100,000 in the $30 $100,000 Extreme Cash scratch-off game, and they intend to use the funds to purchase a home.

When they claimed the prize at Lottery headquarters in Baltimore on Nov. 21, the two said they had not made any plans for a celebration because they still could not believe they had won.

In addition to their $100,000 scratch-off score, both players have won smaller prizes in the past, including a few $800 wins on Pick 5.

When asked if they would keep playing, the husband said, “Sure, I want big money!”

His wife added, “He’s looking for millions!”

The couple bought the hot ticket at the Colesville Road Exxon gas station at 8384 Colesville Road in Silver Spring. A $100,000 scratch-off wins a $1,000 bonus for the business.
