WHITE PLAINS, MD – A retired firefighter from Prince George’s County who won two $50,000 lottery jackpots in November has won again.

The Accokeek native purchased a Pick 5 evening drawing ticket at 7-Eleven in White Plains to find out he won a third $50,000 prize.

The lucky winner was driven by thirst as he made his way into the store to buy a drink and decided to pick up another lottery ticket.

He didn’t know he was a three-time winner until the next day when his wife asked him if he had won, so he scanned the ticket.

“I just couldn’t believe it,” the lucky winner said.

His name was not released due to privacy concerns.
