BALTIMORE, Md. — Three Maryland Lottery Ravens second-chance winners and their guests had a once-in-a-lifetime experience this past weekend, traveling with the Baltimore Ravens to watch the team take on the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium on December 15.
The winners, Raymond and Debbie Jones from Salisbury, Lenny and Darlene Brown from Woodstock, and Juan Garcia and his daughter Melanie from Riverdale, were treated to a whirlwind weekend. The trip included train travel with the Ravens players and staff, a stay at a five-star New York City hotel, sideline passes to pre-game warm-ups, and tickets to watch the game from lower-level seats. Each winner also received $1,000 in spending money.
During the journey, the group enjoyed a meet-and-greet with Ravens players Travis Jones, Tavius Robinson, and Roger Rosengarten on the chartered train. The winners said the experience exceeded their expectations, with pre-game sideline passes giving them a front-row view of the action before settling into their seats to witness Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson make NFL history.
Jackson threw five touchdown passes with no interceptions, marking the sixth such game of his career — a feat surpassed only by Tom Brady and Drew Brees. It was also his fifth game throwing at least five touchdown passes with five or fewer incompletions, the most in NFL history.
“It was an unforgettable experience,” Garcia said of the trip, which blended football fandom with VIP treatment.
The Maryland Lottery’s Ravens second-chance promotion continues, with players able to enter non-winning Ravens scratch-offs into the My Lottery Rewards program by December 22 for a chance to win additional prizes, including $10,000 cash and Ravens season tickets for 20 years. Winners will be announced in the December 23 drawing.
