A couple from Maryland wins a big jackpot in Powerball lottery game
One lucky couple in Maryland are being called the “Power Couple” after scoring two winning tickets worth $1 million in a recent Powerball drawing.
The Anne Arundel County couple had no idea that they had two winning Powerball tickets on April 1, according to a news release by the Maryland Lottery.
The couple, who chose to remain anonymous, told Maryland lottery officials that they are frequent players and keep a stack of old lottery tickets handy to use the lottery's replay feature, which allows Powerball players to scan an older ticket and print out a new one with the exact same set of numbers.
They did just that on April 1. The following day, the husband decided to check the tickets.
Finding a ticket with the numbers similar to the April 1 drawing, he had to take a second look. “I looked at it and I went to the Powerball site,” he said. “I saw the numbers and I said, ‘No!’”
