“Strong Feeling” Made Montgomery Man Make a U-Turn, Leading to $2 Million Scratch-Off Win

By MCS Staff

A Silver Spring resident who plays Lottery games every now and then is still in awe about his latest score. The 60-year-old bought five VIP Club scratch-offs and, after finding four non-winners, became speechless when the fifth instant ticket revealed a $2 million top prize.

The new multimillionaire’s journey to good fortune began when he visited Bowie Exxon located at 1500 North Crain Highway in Prince George’s County. His initial plan was to buy gas there and buy instant tickets at another Lottery retailer. However, after leaving the gas station, the winner experienced a strong feeling about the scratch-offs he’d left unpurchased at Bowie Exxon. The Montgomery County man made a U-turn, revisited the store and purchased the five instant tickets.
