FORESTVILLE, MD – A Forestville resident, initially in pursuit of a Powerball ticket, unexpectedly won $50,000 from a Cash Money scratch-off.
The 57-year-old media specialist had initially visited Forestville Exxon in District Heights to buy a Powerball ticket. She decided to spend her $5 in change on a Cash Money scratch-off ticket, which she later discovered to be a $50,000 winner.
“I thought I was reading it wrong,” the woman stated. Even after confirming the win with a family member, she remained skeptical until she visited Lottery headquarters. “It didn’t feel real until the officials told me it was,” she said.
This win marks the seventh out of eight top prizes claimed for the Cash Money game, which was launched in December 2022. Forestville Exxon will receive a $500 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
The woman, now convinced of her win, has dubbed Forestville Exxon as the best lottery retailer in Maryland.
