Maryland Lottery Player Wins Dream Trip to Winter Games (2024)

BALTIMORE, MD — Baltimore resident "Nisey" struck gold with a $100,000 win on a FAST PLAY Mega Multiplier ticket, marking a significant win in her 15-year lottery journey.

Although Nisey typically favors scratch-offs and Pick 3 and Pick 4 games, her foray into FAST PLAY proved to be incredibly rewarding. On her first attempt, she won $75. Encouraged by this initial success, she continued playing and won $500 a few days later.

Her winning streak culminated last Sunday when she hit the Mega Multiplier's $100,000 top prize. "I was in shock and still am," Nisey said. "My first reaction was to scream, but I quickly composed myself to avoid drawing attention."

With her winnings, Nisey plans to pay off bills, have her car detailed, and invest in a Roth IRA to secure her financial future.

Roland Park Exxon at 5425 Falls Road, where Nisey purchased the winning ticket, will receive a $1,000 bonus for selling the prize-winning ticket.

COLUMBUS, OH — Elaine is celebrating a $37,436 win on the Ohio Lottery’s EZPLAY® Going Pro jackpot, and she still can’t believe it.

Elaine and her fiancé were at Sequoia Pro Bowl on Sandalwood Blvd in Columbus when they decided to try their luck. Initially confused by the machine's reaction, she was in disbelief when she realized she had hit the jackpot.

"I was quite confused when I won, actually," Elaine admitted. "We’ve seen before where when we put money in, and someone else will win. It’ll come up and the machine will have a reaction and it will reset."

The excitement of realizing she was the winner was exhilarating. "I really didn’t feel it was real," she shared.

After mandatory state and federal taxes, totaling 28 percent, Elaine will receive approximately $26,953.92. She plans to save some of her winnings and use the rest to pay off debt.

BALTIMORE, MD — Stephen Sterner, a Baltimore resident, became the first $50,000 winner on the newly released Millionaire’s Club scratch-off ticket, just one week after its launch.

Stephen decided to try his luck with the $20 Millionaire’s Club ticket while visiting Pantry One Food Mart at 5314 East Drive in Halethorpe. He scratched the ticket in the store and was stunned when he matched the number 24 to a $50,000 prize. Initially incredulous, Stephen had to double-check his ticket several times before sharing the exciting news with the store clerk and his family. He then scheduled an appointment to claim his prize.

A maintenance worker at a local gym, Stephen plans to use some of his winnings to purchase a new bed, but remains undecided about the rest of his prize money.

The Millionaire’s Club instant ticket was launched on July 22, and all five of the $1 million top prizes remain available, along with five more $50,000 prizes.
