Navy veteran wins big on Maryland lottery ticket her mom bought
A mom’s housewarming gift to her daughter turned out to be worth $50,000 in Maryland. The daughter, an Upper Marlboro woman who recently returned to Maryland after serving in the U.S. Navy for “many years,” was moving into a new home on Saturday, along with the help of her mother, the Maryland lottery said in a news release.
“It meant so much to me that she could be there, to see my first new house,” the 46-year-old daughter said, according to the lottery. “Plus, she brought me a few scratch tickets to help celebrate.”
On Mother’s Day, she scratched one of the tickets, a $5 Multiplier Money, and saw she won a top prize. “I just stared at the ticket for a while and then asked my husband to check it,” the woman said, according to lottery officials. “What a blessing!”
