BURTONSVILLE, MD — A retired school administrator from Burtonsville has struck it lucky with a $50,000 top prize from the Joker’s Wild scratch-off lottery ticket. Having retired a few years ago, she had taken up part-time work to supplement her retirement income and carefully managed her finances, including setting aside a small weekly budget for her favorite lottery scratch-offs.
Her routine purchase at the Giant store on 12028 Cherry Hill Road in Silver Spring led to the surprising win. The winner bought the ticket and only remembered to check it hours later while at work. Using the Maryland Lottery app, she scanned the QR code and received a message to visit a retailer. After scratching off the entire ticket, she discovered her match and the $50,000 prize.
The winnings will significantly ease her financial planning, allowing her to pay off debts and focus on savings and charitable contributions. She expressed plans to travel to Europe and visit her adopted family in Kenya. Besides her lottery hobby, she volunteers at her local church and crafts gifts.
The store that sold the winning ticket will receive a $500 bonus from the Maryland Lottery. Despite this win, the Joker’s Wild game still offers six remaining top prizes and over 830,000 smaller prizes, ranging from $5 to $5,000, since its release on July 22.
