A Charles County woman wins $100,000 recently in scratch off lottery game

In a stroke of luck, a 65-year-old Charles County woman, named “Uno” for privacy reasons has become the latest member of the Maryland Lottery’s big winners club.

The retired human resources specialist claimed the first $100,000 top prize on the $30 $100,000 Ca$h scratch-off game. Uno, an enthusiast of higher-priced scratch-offs, was at the Pisgah General Store in Indian Head earlier this week when fortune smiled upon her.

She decided to try her luck with a scratch-off ticket, emphasizing her preference for $20 and $30 games because she wanted the chance to win big.

“I figure if I win, I want to win something substantial,” Uno explained. “And, just up the road, someone also won $100,000 playing this game.”

With a sense of anticipation, Uno purchased just one $100,000 Ca$h instant ticket, scratched the prize check area, and scanned the ticket right in the store.

To her astonishment, the message on the screen revealed that she was the lucky winner of a $100,000 prize.
