BALTIMORE, MD—A Baltimore woman experienced a delightful surprise when she discovered she had won $50,000 in the Maryland Lottery’s Pick 5 game, weeks after the drawing took place on May 1. The fortunate player, who prefers to check her tickets in batches every few weeks, was stunned to find out about her big win through the Lottery’s mobile app.
The winning ticket was purchased at 4 Corners Wine & Liquor in Langley Park, where she bought a $2 straight ticket for both the midday and evening drawings. The numbers 21083, which she has consistently played every other day for months, turned out to be her lucky combination.
Upon learning about her win, the security worker expressed joy and a bit of disbelief, remarking that she had only found out about her prize a couple of weeks after the draw. Despite the substantial amount, she mentioned she is still contemplating how to use her winnings and joked about wishing for a few more zeros to retire.
4 Corners Wine & Liquor, the retailer that sold the winning ticket, is also celebrating with a $500 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for their role in this fortunate event. The winner plans to continue playing Lottery games, hoping for more lucky outcomes in the future.
