Maryland Lottery Winners Claim $5 Million and $50,000 Scratch‑Off Prizes

A school bus driver from Hyattsville, Maryland, purchased a $5 million scratch‑off ticket at a 7‑Eleven on his way to work and announced plans to buy his mother a new home. The win was reported by ABC News and highlighted as a major payout from the state lottery.

In a separate incident, another Maryland resident won a $50,000 prize after a long line at a convenience store prompted him to buy a scratch‑off ticket. Both winners attribute their success to chance purchases at local retailers.

The two wins illustrate the potential size of payouts from the Maryland Lottery’s scratch‑off games, ranging from tens of thousands to multi‑million dollars.
