WHITE MARSH, MD—A White Marsh resident cashed in on a $25,000 payday for patronizing a Maryland Lottery retailer in Baltimore and being in the right place at the right time to win a free Pick 5 ticket.

The lucky 42-year-old received the free ticket through the Maryland Lottery’s “Try Pick 5” promotion that ended on June 5th.  During the promotion, players had a chance to receive a randomly awarded free ticket with the purchase of any Lottery draw game ticket.

The winner received the free ticket for the May 21 evening drawing when he was making his purchases at Belvedere Plaza Liquors in Baltimore. The surprising win came on the numbers 54507.

Belvedere Plaza Liquors, located at 5658 The Alameda in Baltimore, earns a $250 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for its role in the big win.
