Lucky Perry Hall Gas Station Sells Winning Lotto Ticket

PERRY HALL, MD — A Middle River man who spends his time working on other people's vehicles stopped to fill up his own tank in Perry Hall this week and ended up winning a five-figure prize playing a scratch-off, according to the Maryland Lottery. The man was paying for his gas at the BP gas station in the 8800 block of Belair Road when he noticed a promotion for a $20 scratch-off game.

"The $1 million top prize caught my eye. I said to myself, ‘Go for it,'" the 24-year-old told the Maryland Lottery.

After he scratched the ticket off while inside his car, he found he won $50,000.

"There may have been some tears," he said. "It’s tough to put into words what I was feeling…I was freaking out."

After his $50,000 win from the $20 Win Big game, he reportedly plans to buy a hot-rod for himself.

The Middle River resident is not alone in finding the Perry Hall BP to be a lucky gas station. A Bel Air man won $50,100 playing scratch-offs at the BP two months ago as well, in late November.
