A Prince George county man wins $50,000 recently in scratch off lottery
A Fort Washington self-proclaimed jackpot chaser decided to try his luck with the Big Money scratch-off and won a big $50,000 prize.
One day last week, the lucky player was out purchasing his regular Powerball and Mega Millions tickets when he decided to play a few scratch-offs.
He normally only plays the jackpot games and was disappointed when he did not win on the instant games. The next day, he stopped into at the 7-Eleven at 9201 Oxon Hill Road in Fort Washington and looked over at the scratch-offs.
Although upset about the previous day’s experience, he decided to give it another try. He purchased just one $5 Big Money ticket and headed out to work.
“I scratched the ticket in my car,” he told Lottery officials. “Even though I saw the $50,000 win, I wasn’t sure.” The 37-year-old hurried back inside the store where he scanned the ticket and confirmed the win.
