Nurse and Fiancé Celebrate Big-Time Lottery Prize

Delaware resident wins $50,000 on Money Rush scratch-off

A nurse and her fiancé went from an adrenaline rush to an actual money rush in the form of a $50,000 payday. The Delaware woman stopped at a nearby Maryland Lottery retailer, where she purchased a winning Money Rush scratch-off worth $50,000.

The Sussex County, Delaware resident bought four of the $10 Money Rush instant tickets at Corner Market located at 1 South Bi-State Boulevard in Delmar. Later in the day, she scratched off her games. One of the four instant tickets had a matching number 22 with a $1,000 prize plus a 50X multiplier, appearing to give her a $50,000 second-tier prize.

With a rush of excitement, she wanted to confirm what she and her fiancé were seeing, so they returned to the Lottery retailer to scan the scratch-off’s prize check area. The scan confirmed what they saw but they still could not believe it, the lucky lady told Lottery officials.

The Delaware native said she plans to use some of her winnings to pay bills, will save some of the funds and use some of the windfall to take care of her children.

The Money Rush instant ticket went on sale in July 2024. There are still nearly two dozen big prizes remaining unclaimed, including five $100,000 top prizes, four $50,000 prizes and 14 $10,000 prizes.
