A Hyattsville man won $100,000 from a scratch-off purchased at the 7-Eleven at 13880 Old Columbia Pike near Fairland, MD.
According to MD Lottery, the construction worker, who usually buys bingo-style scratch-offs, decided to try the new $25 ticket during a late February visit to the store. A few hours later while on a break at work, he scratched the ticket and realized he had won the game’s $100,000 second-tier prize. Still in disbelief, he scanned the ticket using the Maryland Lottery app and sent a screenshot of the winning message to his wife, who confirmed the news.
The couple later traveled to Maryland Lottery headquarters in Baltimore on March 10 to claim the prize. Despite the surprise win, the man finished his workday and later coached his recreational league soccer team as planned. The couple said they plan to use the winnings to pay off their vehicles and place the remaining money in savings.
