$100K Winning Lotto Ticket Sold At Ellicott City Business

ELLICOTT CITY, MD — A convenience store in Ellicott City held a lucky lottery ticket for a Nottingham resident. The 53-year-old construction worker had popped into the Dash In on Baltimore National Pike and bought a Gold Rush X50 ticket. He scratched away and revealed a symbol showing a stack of cash.

The man was stunned when the prize shown below the symbol was the $100,000 prize. Being the type of person he is, the man hid the ticket and went back to work. This isn't the first time this lucky person has won with a Maryland Lottery game. A decade ago he netted a pair of top prize wins.

“I just tell them it’s dumb luck, really. I also tell them not to play with money you can’t afford to lose," he told the Maryland Lottery.

The man intends to use his windfall to pay down debt and bolster his savings account.
