$50K Lottery Win Buys House Cleaner New Wheels

An Annapolis mom who won $50,000 in a Maryland Lottery game will use the windfall to pay bills and buy a new vehicle.

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Buying a new set of wheels tops the list of things a lucky Annapolis woman plans to do with the $50,000 prize she won playing the Maryland Lottery’s Million Dollar Spectaculargame.

The 31-year-old mother of two was driving with her dad when they stopped at Annapolis Exxon. Her father brought the $20 scratch-off back to the car for her and the pair couldn’t believe their good fortune.

“He said, ‘Look at this!’ and I said, ‘Oh my goodness,’” she told the Maryland Lottery. The next day, the two drove to Lottery headquarters in Baltimore to claim the prize.

“Maybe one day we will win $1 million!” she said.
