Lifetime Lottery fan wins big in June 6 drawing
Anonymity is often cherished by Lottery players who win big prizes. Such was the case for a Prince George’s County woman who, under the moniker “Fox,” shared the story of how she achieved a $50,000 Pick 5 victory.
A Lottery enthusiast, “Fox” has played games for as long as she can remember. She has a history of winning small prizes and attributes her success to Lottery luck and her late mom. Her latest triumph comes hot on the heels of a $10,000 Pick 4 windfall, which marked her largest prize until she scored $50,000 in the June 6 evening drawing.
She realized she won while in line at a local restaurant. “Fox” had casually checked the winning numbers for the drawing only to find herself engulfed in speechlessness and surprise. Amidst her shock came an overwhelming sense of relief, she told Lottery officials. The newfound wealth will ease her financial burdens.
“Fox” regards her win as a blessing from her late mother. She honors her mom by playing combinations of her birth date in games. The tribute to her mother has often delivered prizes at times when they are most appreciated.
Asked about her plans for the winnings, “Fox” emphasized prudence. She intends to settle outstanding bills and put the remainder in savings.
The Lottery fan has no plans to play less often because of her $50,000 prize. She enjoys the thrill of playing games after long, arduous days. “My next win is waiting for me,” said “Fox.” “I’m going to win again, and I’ll be back.”
Her Prince George’s County Lottery retailer also benefits from selling the $50,000 winning Pick 5 ticket. Ritchie Services, trading as US Fuel and located at 1322 Ritchie Road in Capitol Heights, will receive a $500 bonus from the Lottery.
