Summary

  • A fortunate woman, who has opted to stay anonymous, won $200,000 in the Maryland Lottery's Ravens X10 scratch-off game.
  • Although the winner realized she had secured the top prize in November, she only claimed it recently.
  • Three grand prizes of $200,000 are still available in Ravens X10.
A seasoned lottery player from Maryland was delighted to win a six-figure prize, but almost forgot to cash her ticket. The lucky woman, using the nickname Macy, recently claimed a top prize of $200,000 from the Maryland Lottery's Ravens X10 scratch-off ticket.

The lucky winner sees the windfall as a blessing

A resident of Anne Arundel County recently visited the lottery headquarters to claim her substantial prize. Although her identity remains a secret, the woman shared that she is an avid lottery player who enjoys scratch-off games. She doesn't have a favorite game but chooses different tickets whenever she feels lucky. At the Maryland Lottery headquarters, she collected the life-changing top prize of $200,000 from the Ravens X10 scratch-off game. In conversation with a lottery official, she expressed, This money is a blessing. I hope to bless others—mainly my family—and I’ll donate some to the church or charity. I’ll also save a considerable amount, but I really wish to do good with it. The winning ticket was purchased by Macy at High's located at 1624 Annapolis Road in Odenton. The store that sold the winning ticket will receive a $1,000 bonus.

The fortunate woman didn't cash in her ticket for months

In November, the winner discovered she had won the top prize but forgot to claim her winnings. She remembered buying the ticket on a day when she had a terrible headache. She said, I went to the store to get some medicine and stopped for gas on my way home. While there, I picked up a ticket. A resident of Anne Arundel County, she initially thought there was a problem with the machine when she scanned her ticket. Feeling unwell, she went home and used the Maryland Lottery app to scan the ticket again. The app displayed confetti and revealed her prize of $200,000. I was shocked, she recalled. Although she signed the ticket and stored it safely, she did not cash it in immediately. She told her family she had good news, but months later, when a relative inquired, she remembered she hadn't claimed her winnings. She immediately contacted the Maryland Lottery to secure her prize. With this recent $200,000 win, three top prizes remain available in the Ravens X10 game. Each ticket costs $10, offering chances to win prizes ranging from $10 to $200,000. The odds of winning any prize in this scratch-off game are 1 in 3.28. (
