BALTIMORE, MD—A Baltimore County woman who works the night shift has won a $100,000 prize after purchasing a very lucky scratch-off ticket.

The woman, who has not been identified, had bought the $10 Bingo X10 6 Edition scratch-off at a favorite Maryland Lottery retailer in Dundalk. She had also bought two other instant tickets at the same time.

When she went to work, the first two scratch-offs she played were not winners. The woman then decided to wait to play the third card, which she set aside and then picked up again later.

She went into the eighth bingo card on the game and was initially confused about the results. The next morning, a Lottery clerk scanned the instant ticket for her and proclaimed her a $100,000 winner, luckily to an empty store.

The woman has kept her winnings a secret and only disclosed that she was planning to share the money with family members.

The scratch-off card was sold at a Merritt BP location that is located at 800 Merritt Boulevard in Dundalk.
