A Silver Spring resident is $50,000 richer after purchasing winning a scratch-off ticket from the Shoppers at 4720 Cherry Hill Road in College Park during a recent work break. Full story below courtesy of the Maryland Lottery:
“A lucky Montgomery County resident has a new appreciation for work breaks and not just for the serenity and recharge they bring. She is grateful for what she did while on a recent break because she won a $50,000 FAST PLAY prize.
Rather than nibble on a sandwich or get a late-day coffee, the 51-year-old decided to pick up a $10 FAST PLAY ticket. She chose the High Roller Blackjack game, which has a progressive jackpot, and won a mouth-watering second-tier prize.
The $10 game went on sale in April 2022 offering prizes ranging from $10 to $50,000 plus a progressive jackpot. The jackpot starts at $100,000 and increases with the sale of each ticket until someone buys the winning ticket. On the afternoon of April 4, the progressive jackpot had reached $216,756. Our winner’s lucky Lottery retailer was Shoppers #2366. The College Park store is located at 4720 Cherry Hill Road in Prince George’s County.
