Stop for Lunch Leads to $100,000 Scratch-off Win for Hyattsville Man

Wins prize on $5,000,000 CASH game

A Prince George’s County resident started his day like any other, but it soon turned into a day like no other when he won $100,000 on a $5,000,000 Cash scratch-off. The lucky winner used the moniker “Jimmy” while he claimed his prize at Lottery headquarters and shared his remarkable story.

Jimmy, who has been a Lottery player for just two years, expressed his joy and surprise at winning such a substantial amount. “I never imagined winning, and can’t process that I actually won more than a few hundred dollars,” Jimmy said. His excitement was obvious as he recounted the moment he realized he won.

The winner was getting lunch from King Kong Restaurant and decided to buy a $5,000,000 Cash scratch-off ticket. It was the allure of the $5 million top prize that drew him to the game. Later that evening, he scanned his tickets and was astonished to discover he had won $100,000.

Although Jimmy has largely kept his windfall a secret, confiding only in his wife and family back in Mexico, he is eagerly planning to make a positive impact with his winnings. He intends to invest in his business, make improvements to his home and support his family. Reflecting on his past struggles, Jimmy is excited about the opportunity to provide relief and support to his loved ones.

In addition to the joy of our winner, King Kong Restaurant at 2350 University Blvd in Adelphi will also celebrate a significant reward. The restaurant will receive a $1,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.
