Dorchester County resident wins in Halloween drawing
It was about 4:30 a.m. when a Dorchester County woman rolled over and took a look at her phone. When she saw that the winning Pick 5 numbers for the Oct. 31 evening drawing were 81355, the happy player knew it was time to celebrate. That set of numbers was one of two birthdays that she regularly plays but this time, she won $50,000 on her $1 straight bet.
The retired government contractor regularly plays either Pick 3/4/5 or FAST PLAY. She is no stranger to winning big Lottery prizes, with past scores including a $10,000 Maryland Lottery prize as well as a $1 million windfall claimed in another state about eight years ago.
The Eastern Shore resident has made a very small to-do list for her prize, with house maintenance and a vacation cruise topping the roster.
Her lucky retailer, Wawa at 8118 Ocean Gateway in Easton, won’t go unrewarded. The Talbot County business will receive a $500 Lottery bonus for selling the $50,000 winning Pick 5 ticket.
Now is a great time to play the Pick 3/4/5 games, which are just a few of the draw games eligible for a ThanksWINNING promotion that runs through Dec. 1. Buy a draw game ticket during this period and you could win a $2 or $5 Instant Win voucher or a free $1 Hi-Lo FAST PLAY ticket. Vouchers and free tickets are awarded at random but you could enjoy a feast of winnings.
