$84K Lotto Win A Homerun For Orioles Baseball Fan From Harford County

HARFORD COUNTY, MD — A diehard baseball fan who loves playing lotto games buys only baseball-themed games from April through September. So far this baseball season, she's won $84,503 with a Fast Play game called Home Run Riches Walk-off Winnings.

“I love the Orioles, so when the season starts it just feels natural to play baseball games,” the financial consultant told Maryland Lottery Officials. “Whether it’s a scratch-off or Fast Play, I always choose the baseball game and I always seem to win – but not like this.”

She discovered her $84,503 win in the car outside of Saubel’s Market in Whiteford.

“It didn’t seem real. I just stared at the ticket. Total shock," she said.

After confirming her win with the lottery app, the winner hurried home to show her family, lottery officials shared.

“I was a wreck, a total mess. I couldn’t put the words together to tell them what was happening, so I just showed them the ticket," she said. “This whole thing is just so exciting.”

Home Run Riches Walk-off Winnings tickets became available in early March. The $5 game offered 15 progressive jackpot prizes, two of which have now been claimed. Saubel’s Market will receive a $845.03 bonus for selling the big winner. The Harford County business is located at 2902 Whiteford Road.
