Woman Wins $20K Scratch-Off in Dundalk

 -Article courtesy of mdlottery.com-

Twice is nice according to a Baltimore County woman. The Dundalk resident revealed two $10,000 amounts on her $1,000 Loaded scratch-off, winning one of the game’s second-tier $20,000 prizes.

The lucky lady told Lottery officials that an earlier win on the $1,000 Loaded ticket had made the game a favorite. So, when she visited a local convenience store last weekend, the $10 scratch-off was an easy choice. She bought two and scratched them when she returned home.

After scratching her winning numbers on the top of the ticket, she slowly revealed a $10,000 prize.

“I saw the first two numbers and got excited for a $10 win, but the number just kept going,” said the winner. “When I revealed the full $10,000 prize, I thought I must not be seeing this right,” she said.

She rushed through the house to share the excitement of the win, waking her sleeping spouse.

While showing the $10,000 prize to her spouse, she scratched off the remainder of the ticket. Luck struck again while doing so, revealing another $10,000 prize on her ticket.

“I just about had a heart attack,” she said.

The rest of the evening was a sleepless night of excitement. The lucky winner said she plans to use some of the prize to pay down debt, get some new wardrobe for her kids and help her family.

The $1,000 Loaded instant ticket went on sale in May, featuring thousands of prizes from $10 to $20,000 and eight $100,000 top prizes. As of Sept. 29, there are three unclaimed $100,000 top prizes remaining, along with four more $20,000 prizes.

The winning ticket was sold at the Wise Avenue BP located at 7801 Wise Avenue in Dundalk.

Rosedale Shell Sells Winning Cash4Life Ticket


One lucky Maryland Lottery player in the area landed a big win this past weekend, courtesy of the multi state Cash4Life game.

Rosedale Shell in Baltimore sold a second-tier winning Cash4Life ticket worth $1,000 a week for life on Sunday, Aug. 8.

The player holding the lucky Cash4Life ticket is the second person to win a second-tier $1,000-a-week-for-life Cash4Life prize in Maryland in 2021.

It is also the fifth second-tier winner since the game became available in the state in 2016.

Rosedale Shell located at 7514 Pulaski Highway in Baltimore will receive a $2,500 bonus from the Lottery for selling the second-tier winning Cash4Life ticket.

The winner can choose between a $1,000-a-week-for-life annuity paid in annual installments of $52,000 a year, or a one-time payment of $1 million (both amounts are before taxes).

Check your ticket for the winning numbers of 6, 23, 31, 44 and 48 the Cash Ball was 2. Our lucky $1,000-a-week-for-life winner matched the first five numbers, but narrowly missed out on winning the top prize of $1,000 a day for life because the ticket did not match the Cash Ball number.

Essex Woman Wins $50,000 in Powerball


It wasn’t the cryptic message in a fortune cookie that inspired a Baltimore County woman into action, but rather the string of numbers the fortune contained.

The third time she played Powerball using those numbers, the 38-year-old won a $50,000 third-tier prize.

The winner, going by the nickname “Shopper’s Retreat,” told Lottery officials that she noticed the lucky numbers shortly after cracking into a fortune cookie. “They just spoke to me,” said the Essex woman.

“Shopper’s Retreat” decided to use the numbers the next time she purchased a Powerball ticket. Although she didn’t win using the fortune cookie’s numbers in two drawings, she persevered.

On July 7, before that night’s drawing, she bought a $2 ticket at One Stop Convenience located at 321 Stemmers Run Road in Essex and again played the numbers. She almost tossed that $50,000-winning ticket by mistake while tidying her home the next day! Luckily, she decided to scan it using the Lottery’s mobile app ticket checker. The ticket matched four of the numbers drawn plus the Powerball to give her the third-tier prize.

When her phone flashed back a quick “Congratulations,” “Shopper’s Retreat” knew she had won! She quickly contacted her sister and mother, showing each of them a screenshot proving her Lottery luck.

The lucky lady is also an entrepreneur. She recently started a rideshare and grocery delivery business called Shopper’s Retreat, which inspired her winning nickname. She said the funds from her Powerball win will provide seed money to help her business grow.

Players have plenty of time to buy tickets for the next Powerball drawing on Saturday, July 24. The jackpot, which keeps rolling, is set for $174 million and the cash option is $125.5 million. In 2021, 33 Maryland players have won $50,000 Powerball prizes.
