“I’ve been everywhere. I’ve been to Gaithersburg, Chestertown, Edgewater, Crownsville – you name it,” Sean said.
The fan of Lottery games tries his luck wherever his work takes him. Sean will select a game at random and often plays a few lucky numbers. He purchased the lucky $2 Bonus Match 5 ticket on one of these trips, using a special combination of numbers based on addresses and birth dates.
Days after the drawing, his mother-in-law noticed some familiar numbers when she reviewed the daily Lottery results. She urged Sean to check his tickets if he had played his lucky numbers recently. Sure enough, those numbers were drawn on Oct. 3 — 3-7-21-24-38 — and won the game’s top prize.
Sean said he plans to use his winnings for necessities like paying bills and medical expenses, as well as for some family shopping trips.
The store that sold the top-prize winning ticket was Woodmoor Service Center located at 7100 Liberty Road in Gwynn Oak. For selling the lucky ticket, the store earned a $500 bonus from the Lottery.
