SUITLAND, MD – A 76-year-old resident of Suitland, has won $50,000 on a Pick 5 lottery ticket.
Lottery officials did not release the winner’s name.
The man, who has been playing the game since its launch in February 2022, has won smaller prizes before, but nothing as substantial as his latest win.
The lucky winner purchased his winning ticket at Meyer’s Liquors, located at 3601 Old Silver Hill Road in Suitland. He learned of his good fortune later that evening, and although he was calm and collected, he was thrilled to have won.
The man has told some people about his lottery win, but he hasn’t revealed how much he won. When asked about his plans for the money, he simply said that he would use it to pay bills.
Meyer’s Liquors, where the winning ticket was sold, will receive a $500 bonus for selling a Pick 5 ticket worth $50,000.
