A Silver Spring resident is $50,000 richer after purchasing a winning Bonus Match 5 lotter ticket from Safeway at 116 University Boulevard. Full story below courtesy of the Maryland Lottery:
“A Montgomery County resident who dreamed about purchasing a winning Bonus Match 5 ticket decided, upon awakening, to buy tickets for the next few days of drawings. On the fourth day, she won the game’s top prize of $50,000, which was a major boost from the amount won during her nighttime slumbers.
“In my dream, I only won $400,” she said, laughing.
The big winner was sitting at home when she discovered her brush with Lottery luck in the July 23 drawing. She checked for a win using the Lottery mobile app on her phone. The Silver Spring woman loves to play Bonus Match 5, explaining that she appreciates the rules and the structure of the game.
“The rewards of this game are very fair. I think the payout of this game is better compared to most games.” The childcare worker plans to use her prize to purchase a car.
The 52-year-old said she thought Lottery luck had passed her by until this spring. She won a $10,000 scratch-off prize in May and her $50,000 Bonus Match 5 prize in July. She encourages everyone to keep playing responsibility.
“I thought I was unlucky, but I never gave up,” she said. “I kept playing until it was my time to win.”
