Lucky Louisiana Lady Came a Long Way for Big Lottery Win

Claims $50,000 scratch-off prize

While the majority of her Lottery play has occurred in her native state, a New Orleans resident told Maryland Lottery officials that her new favorite Lottery is found about a thousand miles north. A $50,000 win playing a 50X The Cash instant ticket will make this Maryland visit especially memorable.

“I have family here, so I come to Maryland whenever I can,” the wife and mother explained. “I love the lottery, even though I don’t win as often as I’d like.” The office manager for a roofing company reports that she played just one Lottery scratch-off this visit, the very one that delivered her $50,000 second-tier win. “It caught my eye, that’s the only reason I bought it.”

50X The Cash, a $10 scratch-off, debuted in January with 10 $100,000 top prizes and 10 $50,000 second-tier prizes. Three of the former and four of the latter remain available. The game is one of six members of the X the Cash scratch-off family and part of a second-chance promotion. Players can try to win $50,000 and $75,000 prizes in two upcoming drawings this month and in July. Get details HERE.

Purchased from Oakland Mills Liquors at 5888 Robert Oliver Place in Columbia, the lucky 50X The Cash instant ticket didn’t reveal its secret until our Louisiana winner had returned to her family’s home. “I couldn’t believe it. We all looked at it many times. Nobody could believe it was real.”
