JOPPA, MD—A Joppa woman’s lucky dream earned her a $50,000 prize from the Maryland Lottery’s Pick 5 game. After having success with the Pick 3 game, a Maryland Lottery fan decided to try her luck with Pick 5.

The Harford County resident played the combination 96221, which came to her in a dream, according to the Maryland Lottery. She purchased the winning ticket at Royal Farms, located at 500 Joppa Farm Road in Joppa.

However, the winner misplaced the ticket after the May 19 evening drawing and spent several months searching for it before finally finding it wedged between the seats of her vehicle.

Relieved, the player claimed her prize this week at Maryland Lottery headquarters alongside her adult son. She plans to save the $50,000 for “hard times.”
