Glen Burnie, MD – In a stroke of incredible luck, a Glen Burnie family has once again hit the jackpot, proving that winning the Lottery can be more than just a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Over the past five years, this fortunate family has secured an astonishing five major prizes on scratch-off tickets. The latest windfall arrived this week when the family’s patriarch claimed a $100,000 prize playing the Gold X50 scratch-off game.
Consisting of a mother, father, and their son, the Anne Arundel County family has made a tradition out of playing and winning scratch-off games together. The mother, displaying her remarkable luck, pocketed $100,000 in 2019 and two $50,000 prizes in 2017 and earlier this year in January. Following in his mother’s footsteps, the son also struck gold, winning $50,000 this past May. Now, it was the father’s turn to revel in the excitement of a big win as he walked away with $100,000 from the Gold X50 game. Accompanied by his son, he collected the prize at Lottery headquarters.
“It’s pretty amazing,” remarked the son. “And all the tickets were bought from the same store.”
Indeed, all of their winning tickets were purchased from Glen Burnie’s very own Doc’s F&B Liquors. The mother typically procures the games and brings them home for the family to enjoy. It was during one of these routine moments that the $100,000 winning ticket found its way into their lives. As she scratched away at several instant tickets on that fateful day, one ticket revealed the staggering $100,000 prize.
“She turned to me and said, ‘You won,'” the father recounted, wearing a smile. “I was happy, but still a little shocked.”
The son promptly scanned the instant ticket with his phone to validate the win for his parents. Being no stranger to the Winner’s Circle at Lottery headquarters in Baltimore, he knew exactly how to go about claiming the prize. On Friday, both father and son followed the familiar path to claim their fortune.
At 84 years old, the father and grandfather has big plans for his newfound wealth. First and foremost, he intends to share some of the funds with his grandchildren. He then plans to purchase a new car and make some long-awaited improvements to his home.
