Man uses prize money to buy lottery ticket — then wins massive jackpot in MD
A man used his $20 lottery win to buy another ticket, then he won a massive jackpot prize in Maryland.
Now, he’s $685,656 richer.
Before his win, the lottery player found some money in his car, the Maryland Lottery said in a May 13 news release.
He bought a $5 scratch-off and won $20 from it, then used that money to buy a Fast Play Super 777 ticket.
Officials said he scanned the ticket with his lottery app, and it prompted him to go to a lottery office, so he knew “something big had happened.”
That’s when he realized he won a big jackpot prize.
He told lottery officials he has plans to use his winnings to take his children and grandchildren on a summer vacation.
The man bought the ticket from a Quick Mart in Dundalk, which is about a 10-mile drive southeast from Baltimore.
