STEVENSVILLE, MD — A dedicated Orioles fan from Queen Anne’s County has hit a major jackpot, winning $137,278 from the FAST PLAY Home Run Riches Bases Loaded game. The winning ticket, purchased for $5, was sold at Shore Stop in Stevensville.
The winner, who chose to remain anonymous, was initially stopping for a drink on his way home from work and hadn’t intended to buy any lottery tickets.
