Man follows lucky feeling to casino but has no luck. Then, he buys a lottery ticket
A man was feeling lucky on the Fourth of July, so he decided to follow his urge and take his chances at a Maryland casino.
However, the Hanover casino was not favorable to the man, Maryland Lottery officials said in a July 10 news release.
With little luck to be found, the man “thought his feeling was an illusion,” lottery officials said.
But just as the man was about to give up hope, he bought a $5 Lots of Cash ticket at a kiosk on his way out of the building, lottery officials said.
Alas, as the man scratched his ticket at home, he finally found his stroke of luck.
The man won $50,000 by matching the winning number 30, officials said.
The retired maintenance worker shared the news with his wife, which “soon had the couple jumping up and down with excitement,” the man told lottery officials.
The nearly 50-year lottery player told officials he plans to use his winnings to pay bills.
Hanover is about an 11-mile drive southwest from Baltimore.
