$50K Winning Lottery Ticket Sold At Ellicott City Store

ELLICOTT CITY, MD — Check your tickets — someone who bought a Maryland Lottery ticket at an Ellicott City Giant is $50,000 richer after Monday's Bonus Match 5 drawing.

The Maryland Lottery has not publicly identified the winner as of Thursday.

The Maryland Lottery says the winning ticket was purchased Oct. 12 at the Giant at 9200 Baltimore National Pike.

The ticket matched all five winning numbers — 12, 20, 22, 25 and 29 — to capture the game's $50,000 top prize. The Bonus Ball was 39.

The Howard County grocery store will receive a $500 bonus from the Lottery for selling the winning ticket.

Bonus Match 5 drawings are held every evening. Players select five numbers between 1 and 39, with a sixth number drawn as the Bonus Ball.

Tickets start at $1 for a single play. Smaller prizes ranging from $2 to $600 are also awarded depending on how many winning numbers and the Bonus Ball a player matches.

Because the prize is worth more than $25,000, players must claim it at Maryland Lottery headquarters at the Montgomery Park Business Center, 1800 Washington Blvd., Baltimore. Winners can claim qualifying prizes in person by appointment or by mail.
