CECIL COUNTY, MD—A lucky Cecil County resident, originally from Pennsylvania, has claimed a $100,000 top prize from the Maryland Lottery’s 50X The Cash game. The recent win marks his second big lottery success, following a $50,000 prize a few years earlier.
The winner, now residing in Elkton for two years, purchased his latest winning ticket at Royal Farms on Augustine Herman Highway. He credits his success to what he calls his “lucky days,” specifically Thursdays and Saturdays, which inspire him to buy scratch-offs valued at $5 or more. His intuition about a $10 50X The Cash ticket proved accurate as he discovered a 10X symbol, indicating a $100,000 prize, while seated in his car.
Overwhelmed with joy, the winner shared the news with a family member right after realizing his win. He plans to allocate half of the prize to help a family member start a business and will also treat himself to a new motorcycle. A retiree and fishing enthusiast, the winner’s recent fortune adds to his enjoyable retirement.
Additionally, Royal Farms will receive a $1,000 bonus for selling the winning scratch-off. The 50X The Cash game is part of a Multiplier family of games that started in January, featuring a second-chance promotion with more substantial prizes still available, including five $100,000 top prizes yet to be claimed.
