Tickets sold in Prince George’s, Worcester counties
While some Marylanders were raking leaves this weekend, two Maryland Lottery players were raking in big prizes.
Congratulations to the lucky player who won $100,000 on a Powerball ticket bought at 7-Eleven #28808 at 1301 University Boulevard in Takoma Park.
