Harford County retailer sells first Multi-Match jackpot-winning ticket of 2024
Congratulations to our new Multi-Match multimillionaire! The Maryland Lottery is looking for a lucky player who won the estimated $2.1 million jackpot in the Monday, March 25 drawing.
Also a big winner was a Maryland Powerball player who bought a $50,000 third-tier winning ticket at AC&T #130, 11564 Hopewell Road in Hagerstown. No one hit the jackpot, which rolled to an estimated annuity of $865 million for the Wednesday, March 27 drawing. The estimated cash option is $416.1 million.
The Multi-Match winner can choose between the annuity, paid in 25 equal installments, or an estimated $1.24 million cash option (before taxes). The winning ticket with the numbers 8, 15, 18, 30, 36 and 38 came from Klein’s ShopRite #551, 1321 Riverside Parkway in Belcamp.
Lottery officials encourage all winners to sign the back of their tickets and keep them in a safe location. Players have 182 days after the date of the drawing to claim the prize.
Instructions on claiming prizes in person or by mail are available HERE. Players must redeem prizes larger than $25,000 by mail or at Lottery headquarters in the Montgomery Park Business Center, 1800 Washington Blvd., Suite 330 in Baltimore.

The lucky seller of the Multi-Match ticket, Klein’s ShopRite #551 in Harford County, will receive a $2,100 bonus for selling the winning ticket. This is the first Multi-Match jackpot win of 2024. The game’s jackpot was hit 10 times in 2023, six times in 2022 and five times in 2021.
