Purchasing a scratch-off ticket results in a $50,000 victory for an individual in Maryland
In a stroke of luck, not one but two siblings from Harford County hit it big in the Maryland lottery recently. The brother took home a cool $25, but it was his sister who struck gold with an impressive $50,000 win!
Last week, the Maryland Lottery confirmed the sisters' historic win, making headlines across the state. Though the identities of the winners remain undisclosed, it's known that their winning MONOPOLY X20 tickets were bought at Clinton Crossings Exxon in Prince George's County.
The story goes like this: the brother, being the "go-to guy," asked his hurried sister if she wanted to make a quick stop on the way home. Initially, she declined, but eventually gave in. Little did she know that this seemingly casual stop would change her life forever!
With a chatty nature, she got into a conversation with some people at the gas station before finally asking her brother to stop. Sensing her intention, he knew this wasn't just a quick coffee stop. As a result, she bought five MONOPOLY X20 tickets.
To make things even more fortunate, the sister's brother had done his research and identified the best tickets to play, those with a high number of remaining top prizes. It seems his decision paid off, as she bagged one of the seven outstanding top prizes of $50,000 each!
When they scratched off their tickets, the brother discovered his winning, albeit smaller, $25 prize. Excited, he received a call from his sister who thrilled him with the news: "I got the big one!" They used the Maryland Lottery's mobile app to confirm their winnings, with the winner recalling, "We've never seen so many zeros on this app."
As of the latest update, six top prizes remain in play from the $5 MONOPOLY X20 scratch-off ticket, which was introduced in January this year. The overall odds of winning any prize from MONOPOLY X20 stand at an impressive 1 in 3.77.
