SILVER SPRING, MD—A Silver Spring woman has won $5 million on a Maryland Lottery scratch-off game. This first of four $5 million top prizes was claimed on March 11th.

The player, who has not been identified, bought the new $5,000,000 CASH game ticket at Great Plaza Liquor, located at 6439 Marlboro Pike in District Heights on February 19, 2023.

The Montgomery County resident plans to start a business after winning the money. She is a fan of scratch-offs and was surprised by the size of her win.

The scratch-off game, which costs $50 to play and went on sale February 19, is expected to continue to be popular in Maryland.

While the Silver Spring player’s $5 million prize is only the first on the new ticket, it is the third prize for that amount won on a Maryland Lottery scratch-off.
