Per MD Lottery: The “gut feeling” that convinced a 23-year-old Rockville resident to visit a 7-Eleven last week led to the largest Lottery win of his life. His $25,000 prize didn’t come from the tickets he purchased, however, but from a free Pick 5 ticket that he never expected to come his way. “I play the Lottery every once in a while,” the university student explained to Lottery officials on Tuesday. “When I woke up that morning, I had no plan to (buy Lottery games), but later in the day something told me to buy some tickets.”
Whatever compelled him to buy tickets wasn’t specific about the game, so the Montgomery County man picked out three from a range of game types. “I got a scratch-off, a Powerball and Keno.” Along with his selection, the winner left 7-Eleven #23693 in Rockville with a free Pick 5 ticket awarded as part of a Try Pick 5 promotion. Through June 5, players who purchase any Lottery game other than scratch-offs could receive a randomly awarded free 50-cent straight Pick 5 ticket. “That extra ticket got me thinking that maybe it was my winner,” he said, “that it was supposed to happen.”
The incident occurred around 3:20pm on Wednesday afternoon. Rockville City Police and Montgomery County Fire & Rescue are currently on the scene. There are no reported injuries. Feature photo courtesy of Tara O’Connell.

Last week we let you know that final paving was underway today at Westbound Randolph Road in Rockville/N. Bethesda. The road officially reopened a few days ago.
Westbound Randolph Road has been closed since August 30th of last summer. The closure was needed for underground electrical work as part of Pepco’s new White Flint Substation. Traffic heading westbound on Randolph Road has been diverted to Parklawn Drive and then directed to Rockville Pike (MD-355).
Kensington’s history began as Joseph’s Park through a land grant of 4,220 acres, located at the time within Charles County, to Mr. William Joseph in 1689. Permitted on September 25, 1705, and now within Prince George’s County, William Joseph’s son used the land for agriculture until he sold it in 1736 to Mr. Daniel Carroll of Upper Marlboro. Carroll, who was one of only five men to sign both the Articles of Confederation (1777) and the Constitution (1787), sold various parcels of land to local farmers. Kensington’s current day form came about from Mr. George Knowles’ property following the construction of the Metropolitan Branch line from Washington, DC to Point of Rocks in 1873.
Bisecting Mr. Knowles’ property, the train began stopping in 1891 at Knowles Station to participate in commerce with Mr. Knowles and the other local farmers. Taking this into account, Mr. Brainard Warner purchased property south of Knowles Station in 1890 from the Brown family and built a summer retreat home. Mr. Warner then began encouraging his friends to purchase parcels of land from him so that they could build summer homes as well. Mr. Warner’s property became known as a “garden suburb” in which he designed after Kensington, England.
