$1M Winning Lotto Ticket Makes A Merry Christmas For Bowie Man

A Bowie man has claimed his $1 million winnings thanks to a lucky scratch ticket.

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — A Bowie man's Christmas wish list will be easy to fill this year now that he's become a millionaire. The man played a "money explosion" scratch-off ticket and the $20 instant ticket he purchased at T&T Liquors in Bowie revealed a $1 million prize.

The Bowie resident claimed the second of seven $1 million top prizes in the game, which still has six unclaimed $50,000 prizes and 78 $10,000 prizes awaiting discovery.

The anonymous winner claimed his prize at Maryland Lottery headquarters and for selling a $1 million top-prize winning scratch-off, the Bowie business located at 13801 Annapolis Road earned a bonus of $1,000 from the lottery.
