Lottery Luck: Silver Spring Woman $50K Richer After Scratch-Off Win

SILVER SPRING, MD — A lucky Silver Spring woman and her husband are overjoyed after winning $50,000 from Pay Me scratch-offs.

The married couple decided they were in a scratch-off playing mood after leaving a friend’s house. They made a quick stop at their local 7-Eleven located at 11406 Georgia Ave. in Silver Spring to buy instant tickets before going home.

After not winning on the first scratch-off, the determined lady hoped for better luck — and got it. The second Pay Me instant ticket made the couple $50,000 richer.

“I remember my wife running out of the 7-Eleven to our truck, saying that she thought we won the big one,” said her husband. “This prize money certainly comes at a very good time for us. It adds that security that we’ve been working hard for and need.”

The excited couple said they would like to spend some of the prize on a family getaway to Florida with their children.

Also celebrating their win is the lucky retailer. The 7-Eleven will receive a $500 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for selling a top-prize scratch-off in the $5 game.

This game still has plenty of prizes remaining, including three more $50,000 top prizes and thousands of other prizes ranging from $5 to $5,000.
