Medical worker wins top prize in lottery for 3rd time — and plans to ‘have some fun’
A medical worker won the top prize in a Maryland lottery game for the third time in two decades — and can now afford to have some fun, she told officials.
The loyal lottery enthusiast plays the Bonus Match 5 game exclusively and checks the winning numbers on her phone every night, lottery officials said in an April 1 news release.
That’s how she learned she had a perfect match for the March 29 drawing, officials said.
She had bought a $6 ticket with nine lines of numbers, officials said. The fourth line down on her ticket “matched the first five numbers drawn that night: 4, 16, 18, 22 and 31; the Bonus Ball was 21.”
The player remembers winning her first-ever Bonus Match 5 win in the mid-2000s, officials said. She won again sometime in the last 12 to 15 years.
All three of her total wins were on quick-pick tickets, officials said.
“I am going to pay bills and use the rest to have some fun,” she told officials.
