A retiree from Baltimore County in Maryland had a stroke of luck recently when they won the $100,000 top prize on the popular $100,000 Crossword scratch-off game offered by the Maryland Lottery.
The Essex resident decided to take a chance on her luck at a Lottery kiosk after setting aside some money from her grocery budget. She purchased a $10 ticket at a Weis Market on Oriville Road. As she made her selection, she felt a strong connection with the ticket as if it was calling her name.
After scratching the ticket at home, the woman was thrilled to discover that she had matched 10 words, securing the game’s largest prize. Overjoyed, she immediately shared the incredible news with her family and friends. However, despite her newfound fortune, she has no immediate plans for her winnings. Instead, she intends to take the time to fully embrace and enjoy her well-deserved retirement, savoring the excitement that comes with it.
The store that sold the winning ticket will be rewarded with a $1,000 bonus from the Maryland Lottery as a token of appreciation for selling the winning game.
Weis Market is now part of the growing list of Maryland Lottery retailers who are rejoicing over their lucky customers winning big-ticket prizes this year.
