A $50,000 winning PICK 5 ticket sold last remains unclaimed as of December 6, according to the Maryland Lottery.
The ticket was sold on November 25, 2023 at the 29 Convenience Mart (10755 Colesville Rd) in Silver Spring. Maryland lottery winners have 182 days from the date of a drawing to claim their prizes.
Back in March, a $50,000 winning scratch-off ticket was also sold at the 29 Convenience Mart. Story below:
“A prospective college student from Silver Spring stopped by a convenience store to quench her thirst and walked out with a cold drink and the ticket to some cold hard cash. She used an extra $10 to purchase a Gold X50 scratch-off and won $50,000. Lady Luck was shining on the 20-year-old when she entered 20 Convenience Mart in Silver Spring last week. The winner doesn’t play Lottery games often and her scratch-off purchase was a last-minute thought. The Montgomery County resident played the game at home, where she revealed the big win.
“I saw the 50X symbol and the $1,000 prize underneath and I just screamed and screamed,” she said. The happy player then alerted her parents of her Lottery luck and the whole house resounded with screams of joy. “It’s just so crazy because I don’t really play,” said the winner, smiling. When things calmed down, the player’s father helped her figure out the claims process. He accompanied her to Lottery headquarters in Baltimore to claim the $50,000 prize.
The Montgomery County resident, who plans to attend college in the fall, will use her winnings toward tuition. She also shared with Lottery officials that she might go on a vacation with some of her newfound fortune.”
