HAVRE DE GRACE, MD ̶̶ A man from Havre de Grace won $100,000 playing a scratch-off, the Maryland Lottery announced this week. The win came from a new game that the lottery rolled out called the $100 Grand, and he is the first one to win the grand prize.

Michael Todd, also known as "Boss," purchased the $10 ticket on his lunch break from Goodyear. He phoned his wife and they went to claim his prize the next morning, officials said.
