Mislaid $50,000 lottery prize narrowly avoids being unclaimed
Mystery Lottery Winner in Calvert County Claims $50,000 Prize
A lucky resident of Calvert County has won a significant sum from the Maryland Lottery, but their identity remains a secret. The Maryland Lottery confirmed a $50,000 win on July 12, 2024, from the Bonus Match 5 drawing.
The winner, an avid sports fan and lottery player, purchased six boards for the night's drawing. The top prize came from the fourth board, and an additional $400 was won from the very last board. The winning ticket was a Bonus Match 5 ticket.
In an unexpected turn of events, the ticket was almost missed due to being misplaced for several months. However, the winner managed to claim the prize just before the 182-day expiration deadline.
The ticket was bought at Shell, located on 20943 Point Lookout Road in Callaway. The retailer will receive a $500 bonus as a reward for selling the winning ticket.
The lucky man, who admitted to sometimes losing or misplacing lottery tickets, has a weekly budget for lottery activities. He intends to use the winnings to pay off bills and save the rest.
Despite numerous attempts, the search results do not contain information about the identity of the lottery player in Callaway who won the Bonus Match 5 top prize on July 12, 2024, and claimed it just before the deadline. The winner chose to remain anonymous.
The Calvert County man uses the numbers of jerseys from his favourite sports teams for lottery games. This strategy seems to have paid off, as he scored the Bonus Match 5 top prize of $50,000.
As the news of the win spreads, the Calvert County community is buzzing with excitement, eager to find out more about their anonymous winner. For now, the mystery remains unsolved, but one thing is certain - someone in Calvert County is celebrating a significant win.
