BEL AIR, MD—A Harford County couple is celebrating a life-changing $1 million win in the December 10 Mega Millions drawing. The couple, who wished to remain anonymous, are lifelong Baltimore Ravens fans and avid lottery players.

The husband bought four Mega Millions tickets — two for himself and two for his wife — at a Wawa store in Bel Air. A few days after the drawing, he checked the winning numbers online and discovered one of his wife’s tickets matched all the numbers for the $1 million second-tier prize.

Floored, he rushed to wake me, his wife said. “At first, I thought I was dreaming. I’m still speechless, but I feel so blessed to receive a gift like this.”

The couple confirmed their win by scanning the $2 ticket at the Wawa at 709 Bel Air Road. They have shared the news only with their children.

When asked about their plans for the winnings, the wife said, “We’re going to save and invest most of it. I hope to help my family, make a generous donation to our church, and ensure we have savings for the future.”

Despite their newfound wealth, the couple said they will continue playing the lottery. They exclaimed in unison, “Yes!” “Now we really have the money to play, so we’ll keep going!”
