Anne Arundel County woman wins $2 million in a local lottery game

A southern Anne Arundel County woman is celebrating a multimillion-dollar lottery win after she found 40 $50,000 prizes on a Mega Money instant ticket.

The woman, who works as a finance worker, had started to scratch off the $30 ticket during a break at work. She was at work when she noticed that 10 $50,000 prizes appeared in the first two lines, according to a press release from the Maryland Lottery.

The woman said she was thrilled and thought that she was going to win big. She ended up winning 40 $50,000 prizes, which she plans to put into the bank and use to make a down payment on a house.

The woman is one of the first people in the state to win a Mega Money instant ticket with a prize of $2 million or more.

The Maryland Lottery said that there are still four $2,000,000 top-prize winners remaining, as well as eight $50,000 second-tier prizes and others ranging from $30 to $5,000.
