Each winner has the choice between the annuity or the cash option. Since there were two winning tickets sold, if a winner chooses the annuity, they will receive $900,000 paid in 25 equal installments. If a winner selects the cash option, they will get $440,000 before taxes.
Lottery officials encourage the winner to sign the back of the ticket and keep it in a safe location. The player has 182 days after the date of the drawing to claim the prize.
Instructions for claiming prizes are available on the How to Claim page of the Lottery website. Prizes of more than $25,000 must be claimed through Lottery headquarters, either in person or by mail. Lottery headquarters is in the Montgomery Park Business Center, 1800 Washington Blvd., Suite 330, in Baltimore. An appointment is required to claim in person (no walk-ins). The appointment scheduling page shows all available appointment times.
This is the third Multi-Match jackpot win of 2025. On April 10, a Hagerstown woman won an $870,000 jackpot, and on Feb. 24, a Baltimore City man purchased a $3.3 million ticket.”
