A fortunate Waldorf man wins $50,000 recently in scratch off lottery game
His retirement hobby of playing scratch-offs just boosted the bank account of Waldorf’s Elijah Stubbs Jr. by $50,000.
Elijah Stubbs Jr. of Charles County is enjoying the life of a retiree, which got even better after his lucky nickel revealed a $50,000 prize on a Gold X50 scratch-off.
The Waldorf man purchases scratch-offs a few times a week at different retailers. On the day Lottery luck paid him a call, Elijah had stopped at the Waldorf 7-Eleven #32282 on 11575 Berry Road to buy the $10 game.
“Since I am retired, I like to play scratch-offs for fun,” he said. The U.S. Navy veteran followed his scratch-off ritual, using a nickel he keeps in his vehicle to scratch off games.
“I will use a nickel for as long as I can keep it. They usually last about two months before I lose them and have to get a new one,” he said with a smile. This time, the outcome was very different.
