Baltimore County woman turns $10 scratch-off win into $100,000 prize

BALTIMORE, MD—A Maryland Lottery scratch-off player from Baltimore County is shopping for a new car now that she won $100,000 on a Lucky Times 10 instant ticket.

The happy player found her lucky game waiting at Edmondson Crown in Baltimore. She stopped to buy gas and her vehicle only needed $20 of the $30 she had prepaid. When she went inside to get her change, she decided to spend the $10 on a scratch-off. That game won $10.



“I said, ‘Give me another one,’” the winner said, recalling the story of her big win. She let the clerk select a $10 game. He picked the Lucky Times 10 scratch-off and shared her excitement when a scan of the instant ticket’s prize check code showed the $100,000 top prize.

“He jumped up and quietly showed me the amount,” she said.

The anonymous winner, who plans to keep her big win a secret, has added car shopping to her to-do list for the new year.
