WESTMINSTER, MD — A Carroll County woman is celebrating a $50,000 top-prize win after matching all five numbers in the Maryland Lottery’s Bonus Match 5 drawing.
The lucky winner, who chose to remain anonymous under the alias “I Played, I Won,” claimed the prize after the winning ticket hit on the Nov. 10 drawing. She purchased the ticket at the 7-Eleven located at 353 Baltimore Boulevard in Westminster.
A longtime fan of the Bonus Match 5 game, the Westminster retail worker shared that she has consistently played for years and often selects multiple lines with a mix of past winning numbers and random picks. This time, it was one of her random selections that delivered the top prize.
The winner previously experienced success with lower-tier prizes, including a notable $4,400 win after matching four numbers across multiple tickets. However, this marks her first time hitting the game’s highest prize.

The 7-Eleven that sold the winning ticket will receive a $500 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for selling the top-prize ticket.
Lottery officials reminded players that Bonus Match 5 remains a popular daily draw game, offering players the chance to win by matching two to five numbers.
The winner indicated she plans to put her prize money toward retirement while continuing to enjoy fitness and wellness activities.
