SILVER SPRING, MD—A Silver Spring woman struck gold with a $5 lottery scratch-off, claiming the first $50,000 instant top prize from THE BIG SPIN game this past Wednesday.
The fortunate winner purchased her ticket at Dong Phuong Market, situated at 8545 Piney Branch Road. Upon revealing the prize, she was informed by the store clerk that a trip to the Lottery headquarters was necessary due to the substantial amount of the win.
Overwhelmed with joy, the winner described her reaction as both “shocked” and “happy.” She is currently exhilarated with no immediate plans for her winnings.
Introduced in April, THE BIG SPIN game offers a chance for participants to win between $50,000 and $250,000 by spinning a prize wheel at the Lottery headquarters. The game features three $50,000 instant-win top prizes, with this woman being one of the lucky winners. To date, four participants have taken their chance on The Big Spin Wheel.
Dong Phuong Market also benefits from this stroke of luck, earning a $500 bonus from the Lottery for selling the winning ticket.
