BALTIMORE, MD—A Baltimore woman’s sick day turned into a life-changing win after she scratched off a $5 million prize on a $5,000,000 Cash scratch-off ticket. The lucky winner, who chose the anonymous nickname “Sleepless Flower Girl,” is a federal government employee who couldn’t believe her luck after taking a day off work for a sinus infection. “Sleepless Flower Girl” explained that she chose the nickname because she couldn’t sleep after winning and because of her love for nature.
According to the Maryland Lottery, “Sleepless Flower Girl” purchased the winning ticket at Safeway, located at 4401 Harford Road in Baltimore City. She was already feeling under the weather when she decided to make a smoothie at home and remembered she had a $120-winning Keno ticket to cash. With her Keno winnings, she decided to try her luck with the $50 $5,000,000 Cash scratch-off game.
The winner scanned her tickets on the Maryland Lottery app at home and was met with the incredible $5 million prize amount. Initially, she couldn’t believe her eyes, scanning the ticket over and over again. She immediately called her mother, who was at work, and shared the news. Her mother, equally in disbelief, told her to come home right away and accompanied her to claim the prize.
“Sleepless Flower Girl” plans to use her winnings to purchase a house, invest, and create generational wealth for her family. The mother of one son is still in disbelief over her win and shared that she couldn’t sleep the night before claiming the prize.
The $5,000,000 Cash game still holds two $5,000,000 top prizes, seven $100,000 prizes, and thousands of other prizes ranging from $100 to $10,000.
