ROSEDALE, MD—A longtime Maryland Lottery player from Rosedale has won a substantial cash prize after years of loyalty to the lottery. The 50-year veteran of the lottery was recently awarded $30,000 after winning a top prize on an instant ticket.

The ticket was purchased at BJ’s Wholesale Club, located at 4201 Wholesale Club Drive (21236). The scratch-off was a $3 instant ticket. When the player scanned the ticket, a message directed her to contact the Maryland Lottery headquarters in Baltimore. The player then checked the ticket with the app on her phone and also asked a clerk for help, but she received no clear answer.

“I thought there was something wrong with the ticket,” she said.

Finally, she scratched the entire ticket, played the game, and saw that she had won $30,000.

This is the largest win that the lucky woman has ever achieved in the Maryland Lottery. She has previously won smaller amounts, including a $40 win on a 50-cent ticket.

“I won $40 and you would have thought I won a million dollars!” she recalled.

The player has been playing the lottery for five decades and she is thrilled with her $30,000 windfall.
