Medical worker reveals 50X The Cash top prize using a quarter
The player couldn’t believe her eyes when she scratched off a $100,000 top-prize winning 50X The Cash ticket. In fact, the Northern Baltimore City woman was in such disbelief, she needed another set of eyes to verify her win and asked a friend to take a look.
“I said to her, ‘Did I see what I thought I saw?”‘ recalled the lucky winner, who claimed her prize at Lottery headquarters in Baltimore with her friend by her side.
She had scratched the game off and matched the winning number of 23. Using a quarter, she revealed the prize of $100,000 beneath the match. Both her friend and her Maryland Lottery app confirmed her win.
The loyal player told Lottery officials that she likes to use quarters to scratch off her instant tickets. She explained that she doesn’t use the same quarter and will refuse a smaller coin.
“If you scratch with a penny, all that you win is pennies,” said the medical worker.
Now that she has secured her prize, the winner plans to use it to pay off bills. She bought her lucky $10 instant ticket at 7-Eleven #27456, which is located at 5401 Radecke Avenue. For selling a $100,000 top-prize winning scratch-off, the East Baltimore retailer will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Lottery.
This is the fourth $100,000 prize revealed in the 50X The Cash game, which went on sale in January. There are now six $100,000 top prizes, six $50,000 second-tier prizes and 17 $10,000 prizes that remain unclaimed, along with others ranging from $10 to $1,000.
This game is a member of an X The Cash family of games, too. Players can enter non-winning X The Cash instant tickets into a second-chance promotion to try to win prizes ranging from $50,000 to $75,000. Four drawings remain, with the next entry deadline being April 1.
