Baltimore Woman Wins $250,000
Contest Prize
Five Finalists Competed in Let
Yourself Play Summer Giveaway Finale
(Baltimore) – When Marsha Squirewell
collected the words “Let” “Yourself” and “Play” this summer, she
mailed her tickets in for the Let Yourself Play Summer Giveaway
promotion. Marsha and four others were selected from over
34,000 entries as finalists to compete for the $250,000 top prize.
On August 30th, in front of a cheering crowd at the
Maryland State Fair, Marsha emerged the big winner of the
second-chance contest.
The Grand Prize
event consisted of four rounds of play. One finalist was eliminated
during each of the first three rounds, leaving two people vying for
the $250,000 top prize. Deborah Langston from Dundalk won $5,000,
Elex McKnight from Baltimore won $10,000 and Beverly Hamlin from
Baltimore won $25,000.
The final round
came down to Charles Douglas from Mechanicsville and Marsha from
Baltimore. The excitement grew as the two waited to see which game
pieces were turned over, determining who won $50,000 and who walked
away with the top prize. As the final game piece revealed that
Marsha was the grand prize winner, the 47-year-old cried tears of
joy and hugged her mother.
The Let
Yourself Play Summer Giveaway promotion made many other Maryland
Lottery players very happy. One hundred other entries were selected
as runners-up and those players won $1,000 each.
