Baltimore County Woman On Track With Next Big Win
Wins $30,000 Racetrax Prize

(Baltimore) – A very lucky Baltimore County woman strikes again playing Racetrax.  The first time she played, she won $6,000. This time, her winning ticket was worth $30,000.  “This is the most I have ever won,” said the 53-year-old.   

The widow said she plays Racetrax and Keno using birth dates, birth months and other familiar numbers.  This time around she played the numbers 10, 11 and 12, in that order, representing the birth months of her youngest grandson born in October, her younger sister born in November, and her deceased husband born in December. The formula proved very profitable. She played a variety of Lottery games that morning before realizing she’d won on her Racetrax ticket.   

The woman has had such a winning streak that she was nonchalant when recounting her experience. “It wasn’t a big deal when I found out I won,” she admits.  “She is very lucky,” said her friend who accompanied the winner to Lottery Headquarters.  What made her keep the winning Racetrax ticket for nearly three weeks before claiming the prize? “It was in my purse,” she said, “I figured it was time to get rid of the “big ticket.”  

The grandmother, who has adopted her three grandchildren, plans to use the money towards their college education and for her business.  The winning ticket was purchased at Sportsmans Lounge, located at 4723 Gwynn Oak Ave. in Baltimore City.
