A quick stop for snacks brings a $50,000 lottery win
The lucky winner, who prefers to remain anonymous, confessed to being just a casual casino gambler. Feeling homesick for his home state, he, along with his work crew, decided to try their luck with a scratch-off ticket. They stopped at the Sheetz convenience store located at 601 Pulaski Highway in Joppa. There, he bought two Let's Make a Deal tickets along with some hot dogs. The purchase wasn't a mere coincidence; moments earlier, a team member jokingly mused, Could you imagine if one of us won the lottery? Remarkably, the man's choice to spend $5 each on two tickets paid off, as he secured one of the lottery game's top prizes, winning an impressive $50,000. The retail location that sold the winning ticket will receive a $500 bonus from the Maryland Lottery. The fortunate winner recently visited the Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. He shared that once he returns home to New Hampshire, he plans to consult with his father, a money guy, before spending any of his winnings. Nonetheless, he admitted that he would indulge in buying himself a fishing rod.
