Lucky couples from white plains wins $34,000 recently in a lottery game
A White Plains couple is celebrating after winning the progressive jackpot in the $2 Gold Fish game, which earned them $34,683.
The husband and wife team had only been playing the game for a week when they struck it lucky.
The wife, who purchased the winning ticket, said that while buying gas at a station across from Food Lion #2547 in Waldorf, she felt a calling to go to the grocery store.
She bought the winning Gold Fish ticket at the grocery and immediately realized she might have won the game’s progressive jackpot.
After scanning the ticket using the Lottery app on her phone and receiving a strange message, the Charles County woman took it to another store to confirm her win.
“He did and then he did a double-take. He said, ‘You hit the jackpot!’ It was so exciting!” the woman said.
