Maryland Lottery officials are looking for a lucky Multi-Match player who won the $775,000 jackpot for the Thursday, January 24 drawing.

The winner, who is the first player to hit a Multi-Match jackpot in 2019, can choose between the annuity and an estimated $475,000 cash option (before taxes). The winning ticket with the numbers 2, 9, 11, 16, 22 and 30 came from NP Liquors at 8860 Waltham Woods Road (21234) in Carney.

Lottery officials encourage the winner to sign the back of the ticket immediately and keep it in a safe location.

The player has 182 days to claim the prize in person at Maryland Lottery headquarters located at 1800 Washington Blvd. in Baltimore.

The lucky retailer will receive a $1,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket.

The top three Multi-Match jackpot wins were $4.8 million on Sept. 19, 2009; $4.45 million on March 18, 2010 and $3.8 million on Dec. 16, 2010.
