GLEN BURNIE, MD – An Anne Arundel County resident has claimed a $50,000 top prize in the Maryland Lottery’s Bonus Match 5 game for the June 11 drawing.
The winner, a Glen Burnie man, purchased the lucky ticket at Southgate Liquors on Hospital Drive. He bought a $4 Bonus Match 5 ticket among his usual games and didn’t realize his good fortune until the next day. The store’s cashier informed him of his win by printing out the winning numbers.
Upon checking his numbers at home, the player was astonished to find they matched. He immediately shared the news with his cousin, who confirmed the win. The winner, a single father of three, plans to save the prize money for future use.
Southgate Liquors, the retailer where the winning ticket was sold, will receive a $500 bonus from the Maryland Lottery. The store owner and staff share in the excitement of their customer’s big win.
