New Ticket, Big Win: Maryland Woman Hits $100K Jackpot

A woman from Prince George’s County just proved her lucky strategy works—she scored a $100,000 win by sticking to one simple rule: always grab the newest scratch-off tickets on the shelf.

She had picked up three $10 Red 5’s Doubler tickets from Harbor Market in Oxon Hill, just a day after the game hit stores. Later that afternoon, while taking a break from putting up holiday decorations, she remembered the tickets and decided to scratch them.

That quick break turned into a huge surprise when one of the tickets revealed a $100K prize.

She already has plans for the money, and they’re both smart and exciting:

• Home remodeling

• Boosting her retirement savings
