Edgewater, MD — A low-key scratch-off player from Southern Maryland has won a $100,000 top prize on the $100,000 Ca$h instant ticket, bringing unexpected excitement to a routine snack stop. The win occurred last Friday when the winner and her daughter visited a 7-Eleven in Edgewater.
The winner’s daughter, who often buys scratch-offs for her mother, purchased two $30 $100,000 Ca$h tickets along with a soda. While driving, the Calvert County mom began scratching the tickets, initially mistaking her big win for a $100 prize. Upon closer inspection, she realized she had won the $100,000 top prize.
The duo verified the win by stopping at another store to scan the ticket, confirming the substantial windfall. The winner, joined by her daughters, remained composed as they shared the news with a few family members.
Planning to share part of her winnings with her family, the fortunate winner intends to save the remainder. The $100,000 Ca$h game, launched in September 2023, still has 55 top prizes available, among other smaller prizes.
The 7-Eleven store in Edgewater that sold the winning ticket will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Lottery, celebrating the significant win alongside the lucky family.
