Mom's recent grocery store run leads her to win $100,000 in scratch off lottery game

Her most recent trip to the grocery store left her one night short of family dinners, a mother of three told Lottery officials, so she made an executive decision to pick up subs.

She soon discovered that the cost of her food order was more than covered by the $100,000 prize hiding in the 50 Years! scratch-off she added to her purchase.

The Charles County resident said she had no intention of buying an instant ticket that night at Wawa #565 in Waldorf. “It was my daughter who mentioned it,” she explained.

“She enjoys cleaning up after I scratch tickets, and hitting me up for presents when I win.” With her family’s dinner in hand, the 38-year-old approached the store’s self-serve vending machine with her mind on a specific game.

“My sister is an avid Lottery player,” the winner said. “She was telling me a few days before how her co-worker won big playing the new anniversary ticket, so that’s the one I wanted.”
