Per MD Lottery:
A Wheaton woman bought a selection of Maryland Lottery scratch-offs in December as she often does during the holidays. Unlike other years, she put the games aside this time and forgot about them until after Groundhog Day. She then pulled the instant tickets out, scratched them off and one turned out to be worth $50,000.
A Montgomery County, Maryland Powerball player made history in the Monday, Sept. 27 drawing, becoming the first person in the nation to win a $10 million Double Play top prize.
Montgomery County’s Rockville Exxon at White Flint located at 11433 Rockville Pike in Rockville sold the winning Powerball Double Play ticket, which matched all of the numbers in the Sept. 27 Double Play drawing: 2, 27, 51, 62 and 66; the Powerball was 1. For its role in the historic sale, the retailer will earn a $10,000 bonus from the Lottery.
