$50K Lotto Prize Will Help Fund Texas Native's Return Home To Lonestar State From MD
A Prince George's resident who won $50K on a lottery scratch-off ticket will be using the winnings to help pay for a move back to Texas.
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — A 40-year-old Texas native gifted lottery scratch-off tickets from her mother ended up winning $50,000 on a Bonus Bingo X20 scratch-off. The mother bought a handful of tickets at the Exxon station at 7703 Annapolis Road in Lanham and shared them with her daughter, Frances, who works as a weight master.
She initially thought she won $10,000 but as she scratched off the box that multiplies a player’s winnings, she revealed a 5X multiplier that boosted her prize to $50,000. The Prince George’s County resident said she rarely plays bingo-themed games because they are time consuming. The mother of four prefers scratch-offs that are quick and easy to play.
The 40-year-old plans to move back to Texas this summer, using her prize to help finance the life-changing move.
