PERRY HALL, MD—A Perry Hall couple claimed a $50,000 top prize in the Maryland Lottery’s Bonus Match 5 game this week. The winning numbers were drawn on November 21st. The couple, who play Lottery games together weekly, purchased their winning ticket at Honeygo Wine & Spirits, located at 5004 Honeygo Center Drive in Perry Hall, on November 15th.

They always play Bonus Match 5, using numbers they choose on the first line. Each Friday, they buy tickets for the upcoming week and clip them on their refrigerator door to check them a week later.

One of the winners, a retired individual, recalled checking the numbers on their phone while his wife was in bed.

“When I saw our numbers, I knew right away we won and I had to go wake her up,” he said. His wife, also a retiree, initially doubted the win, but the couple confirmed the numbers matched. “I thought something was wrong at first,” she said. “Then, I realized it was true.”

The winning duo matched all five numbers in the November 21st drawing. They visited the Maryland Lottery’s website to learn how to claim their prize and visited Lottery Headquarters on November 25 to claim their $50,000 prize. They said they plan to use their winnings for home improvements and a vacation.
