Maryland resident wins $50,000 lottery prize

A lucky Maryland man was pleasantly surprised when the owner of his local store informed him of his $50,000 lottery prize. The man, from Glen Burnie, revealed that while he was at Southgate Liquors, the same place where he had purchased a ticket for the recent June 11 Bonus Match 5 drawing, the store owner approached him with an intriguing question. This is prepared by SSP.

According to the man, the owner inquired, "Did you play Bonus Match 5 yesterday?" Not suspecting anything, the man queried, "Why, did someone win?" The owner then replied with a grin, "Yes," and presented him with the winning numbers.

Eager to confirm this information, the man hurried home to compare the numbers on his ticket with the ones provided by the store owner. Much to his disbelief, it turned out that the numbers he had been using for years matched the winning combination, securing him the incredible $50,000 prize.

The sheer astonishment proved overwhelming for the fortunate winner, who felt compelled to wake up his cousin and share the news. "I had to wake up my cousin to show him because I didn't believe it," he remarked. His cousin joined him in collecting the well-deserved prize, expressing his delight and stating, "I'm really happy for him."

At present, the grateful winner has decided to set aside the prize money and put it into savings. It's a smart move for the time being, ensuring financial security and careful planning for the future.
