BALTIMORE, MD—A Delaware man who calls himself “Orioles Fan” is celebrating a big win after hitting a $136,810 progressive jackpot on the Maryland Lottery’s FAST PLAY Home Run Riches Bases Loaded game.
The lucky winner, a retired nurse and former Harford County resident, purchased two $5 tickets at Harvest Fare in Fallston. He told Maryland Lottery officials that he usually buys as many tickets as he can and enters them into the game’s Contestant of the Game promotion.
While “Orioles Fan” was hoping to be selected as a Contestant of the Game, he was shocked and surprised to win the jackpot prize.
“I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t expect this at all,” he said.
The win marks the end of the Home Run Riches Bases Loaded game and the start of a new FAST PLAY game, Home Run Riches Walk-Off Winnings. The $5 game features 15 progressive jackpots, with the current jackpot exceeding $57,000.
“Orioles Fan” plans to enter his winning ticket into his My Lottery Rewards account and continue watching Orioles games with the hope of being selected as a Contestant of the Game.
