Cashing in Big with a Spontaneous Stop: Siblings' Surprising MONOPOLY X20 Win
Maryland resident snags $50,000 prize through instant lottery ticket purchase
In the adventure of luck, two siblings from Harford County scored impressive wins on the Maryland Lottery's MONOPOLY X20 scratch-off tickets. The brother bagged a $25 reward, but the sister's win dwarfed his – a whopping $50,000!
The Unplanned Victory
The Maryland Lottery announced the big win late last week, revealing that a lucky Harford County woman nabbed one of the top prizes from the popular scratch-off game. Although the lucky duo chose to keep their identities under wraps, the Lottery confirmed that the winning tickets were purchased at Clinton Crossings Exxon in Prince George's County.
The win unfolded while the duo was on their way home. The woman's brother, her designated "go-to guy," suggested a detour, but the woman initially declined, citing her hurry. Yet, she eventually asked for a "quick stop" as they were at the gas station. Little did she know, this would lead to a life-changing decision – buying five MONOPOLY X20 lottery tickets.
Why the sudden interest in the ticket? The sister's brother had done his homework on lottery tickets – specifically choosing ones with a high number of remaining top prizes still up for grabs. After purchasing the tickets, the woman didn't waste any time checking them out.
The Moment of Truth
As fate would have it, the woman scored one of the seven outstanding top prizes of $50,000 each. The lucky pair reveled in their victory after separately scratching off their tickets at home. The brother's ticket paid off $25. However, the real fireworks happened when he heard his sister's excited voice on the phone, exclaiming, "I got the big one."
Using the Maryland Lottery's mobile app to scan the tickets, they confirmed their wins, stating, "We've never seen so many zeros on this app."
Remaining Top Prizes Up for Grabs
Introduced in early January, the $5 MONOPOLY X20 scratch-off ticket gives players 17 chances to win a prize, ranging from a modest $5 up to the coveted $50,000 top prize. With the latest win, six top prizes remain in play. As of the latest data, the MONOPOLY X20 scratch-off ticket from the Maryland Lottery boasts an astounding 14 remaining top prizes of $1,000. With such tantalizing odds, who's next in line to strike it big?
