Maryland Lottery: Historic Multi-Match Jackpot Win

An extraordinarily fortunate individual has successfully matched all the winning numbers in a well-known lottery game in Maryland, thereby clinching one of the most substantial jackpots ever recorded.

On Tuesday, officials from the Maryland Lottery announced that a solitary Multi-Match ticket had achieved a perfect match with all the winning numbers in Monday’s draw, securing an impressive jackpot exceeding $3 million.

A Monumental Win in Multi-Match History

Details about the lucky winner remain scarce; however, it has been revealed that the winning ticket was purchased at J Convenience, located at 8765 Satyr Hill Road in Parkville.

To claim the top prize amounting to $3.3 million, the fortunate lottery player successfully matched the numbers 3, 6, 16, 22, 26, and 33.

As the retailer responsible for selling this jackpot-winning ticket, J Convenience will receive a bonus of $3,300.

This recent accomplishment represents the first Multi-Match jackpot of 2025 and ranks as the sixth-largest prize in the history of the game.

• In the previous year, a total of eight jackpots were claimed from Multi-Match.
• In 2023, the jackpot was won 10 times.

While the $3.3 million prize is significant, the largest jackpot in the game’s history occurred on September 19, 2009, when a single ticket won a staggering $4.8 million.

Options for Claiming the Multimillion-Dollar Prize

In Maryland, any lottery prize exceeding $25,000 must be claimed at the Lottery’s headquarters, located at the Montgomery Park Business Center, 1800 Washington Blvd., Suite 330, in Baltimore.

The Maryland Lottery does not allow walk-ins for such substantial prizes. Nevertheless, it provides an online platform where winners can schedule appointments and choose a convenient time for their visit.

According to the Lottery, the newly minted multimillionaire is presented with two choices:

• Receive the entire prize through annual installments.
• Opt for a one-time cash payment.

The first option allows the winner to collect the full $3.3 million jackpot via equal annual payments over 25 years.

The second option, on the other hand, provides the winner with a one-time cash payout of $1.92 million.

It’s crucial to understand that both these amounts are before the deduction of applicable state and federal taxes.

Typically, lottery winners tend to favor the lump sum payment over annuity installments.

The Lottery has advised the fortunate winner to sign the back of the ticket and keep it in a secure place before proceeding with the claim process.

The lucky individual has a total of 182 days from the date of the draw to claim their substantial prize.
