Before leaving home to meet friends, the 47-year-old frequent player noticed that Money Bag Multiplier, a $10 scratch-off game that debuted in April, still had one $100,000 top prize available. He also noted that three of the game’s $50,000 second-tier prizes had not yet been claimed.

Per the Maryland Lottery: “In the span of four Multi-Match drawings between Oct. 12 and Oct. 23, three Maryland Lottery players matched all six numbers and took home the jackpot. One of those winners, a Hagerstown resident, claimed his $510,000 prize at Lottery headquarters on Oct. 26. The Washington County retailer who sold the $510,000 winning ticket can celebrate, too. Old Orchard Liquors located at 17619 Virginia Avenue in Hagerstown will receive a $1,000 bonus.
The two other winning tickets remain unclaimed. A $630,000 jackpot-winning ticket was sold for the Oct. 12 drawing at the Eagles Nest on Herman Highway in Chesapeake City, and a $500,000 ticket from the Oct. 23 drawing was purchased at Seabrook BP in Seabrook.
The construction worker was on his way to work Monday morning when he quickly stopped at the Safeway in Pasadena. He had a scratch-off he wanted to scan and it turned out to be a $50 winner. The lucky guy used his win to purchase two $20 scratch-offs, including a $1 Million Royale ticket, and one $10 scratch-off. He rushed off to work, not looking at his tickets until later.
The lucky player immediately called his girlfriend to share the news. “I was stuttering that I hit and she thought I was saying that I was in a car accident,” he chuckled. “She said, ‘hit what, what did you hit’.”
The 53-year-old plans to pay off bills. He described the experience of the big win as “exciting”. When he started to scratch his ticket, he instantly saw he was a winner. The first number in his “Your Numbers” was 03 and the $50,000 prize was underneath that number. Then he looked over and saw 03 in his “Winning Numbers”. That resulted in the top prize of $50,000. “I couldn’t believe it. I then checked it in the store, and it was true,” said the maintenance worker.
The lucky ticket was purchased at the Germantown BP on 19911 Aircraft Drive in Montgomery County. The Germantown retailer will receive a bonus of $500. The $20 $50,000 Cash started back on Dec. 29 with 160 prizes. The Germantown man is the 74th winner, but 86 still remain along with prizes ranging from $20 to $5,000.” Featured image courtesy of Google Maps.
