White Marsh Gas Station Sells $100K Ticket

WHITE MARSH, MD — A White Marsh woman scored a winning lottery ticket recently that will help finance a wedding as well as a tree project, lottery officials reported.

The woman, who was not identified by name, bought several tickets inside the White Marsh BP and scratched them off in her car. She won a $30 prize on one, while the 50x the Cash game showed she won $100,000, which she said put her in a state of disbelief. She went back inside the gas station to check in with a clerk.

“His eyes got real big and he said, ‘It’s real!’" the Maryland Lottery reported. The winner told lottery officials that the store clerk had to keep asking her if she was OK.

She said that she plans to use the winnings to help pay for a family member's wedding and to remove dangerous trees around her White Marsh home.

For selling the winning ticket, the BP at 5250 Campbell Boulevard will receive $1,150 from the Maryland Lottery, officials reported.
