OXON HILL– An occasional Lottery player from Prince George’s County couldn’t believe her luck when she recently hit the Pick 5 game especially because her mom bought her the winning ticket. The 19-year-old’s mom played a set of random numbers – 77131 – for a 50-cent straight bet for the July 11 evening drawing. Later, they discovered the ticket won $25,000!
The restaurant employee doesn’t play often, she said, but when she does, it’s usually with her mother.
The lucky winner was at work when she decided she wanted to play Pick 5. She called her mother to have her buy a Pick 5 ticket and a few other games for her. Because she was still at work, the Oxon Hill resident missed the evening drawing.
She phoned her mom on her break to have her check her tickets. Come to find out, her Pick 5 ticket won $25,000.
