A local lottery player will be receiving “$1,000 a week for life” after purchasing a winning lottery ticket from Giant (3860 International Dr.) at Leisure World.
Per the press release: The player holding the winning ticket from the Feb. 8 drawing is the first to score a second-tier $1,000-a-week-for-life Cash4Life prize in Maryland in 2024 and the ninth since the game became available in the state in 2016.
The Montgomery County retailer, located at 3860 International Drive, will receive a $2,500 bonus from the Lottery for selling a second-tier winning Cash4Life ticket.
The winner can choose between a $1,000-a-week-for-life annuity paid in annual installments of $52,000 a year, or a $1 million cash option (before taxes). Check your ticket for the winning numbers of 5, 10, 25, 38 and 57; the Cash Ball was 4. Our winner matched the first five numbers, but did not match the Cash Ball.
Maryland had a total of 4,097 winners of prizes of $2 and up in the drawing. Winners have 182 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prizes. Lottery officials strongly encourage all winners to sign the back of their tickets immediately and keep them in a safe location.
