A lucky Maryland guy wins $50,000 recently in a lottery game

A Maryland man bought a scratch-off lottery ticket and ended up visiting lottery headquarters to collect his fourth prize of at least $50,000.

Kenneth Weinberg of Columbia told Maryland Lottery officials he chose the $50,000 Cash scratch-off ticket from a local store because of recent good experiences with the game.

"I've been doing well these last few weeks with $50,000 Cash," he said. "When I stopped by the Royal Farms in Elkridge, that's what I played."

Weinberg said he used the lottery scanner on the ticket before he scratched it off. "I've been having an issue with my eyesight, so I rely on the scanner. It's easier to read," he said.

The $20 ticket turned out to be a $50,000 top prize winner. "It directed me to go to the lottery office, so I knew it was too big a winner for the store to pay," he said.
