An experienced lottery enthusiast in Maryland, who made an unplanned stop for groceries at a local deli, found herself unexpectedly thrilled by a six-figure jackpot windfall.
The Maryland Lottery verified the impressive win on Wednesday, although they did not reveal the identity of the fortunate winner.
A Decade of Playing the Lottery
Instead, the lucky woman from Anne Arundel County chose to go by the alias ‘Ms. Anonymous.’
- This Odenton resident shared that she had visited a nearby deli named Lucky’s Deli & Market, located at 1101 Odenton Road in Anne Arundel County.
- Upon checking a FAST Play Grand Progressive ticket, she realized she had struck it big. Initially, she was uncertain about the exact value of her prize.
- It was only after an employee at the deli scanned the ticket that she learned she had won the FAST PLAY Grand Progressive jackpot, totaling a substantial $104,438.
Needing a moment to absorb this life-changing news, she admitted in an interview with a Lottery official that she quickly retreated to her car.
- Once inside her vehicle, she celebrated the win with her adult son before heading home.
- Like many other jackpot recipients, ‘Ms. Anonymous’ has kept her newfound wealth under wraps, not making her fortune public knowledge.
When speaking to Lottery officials, the lucky woman confided that she has been a regular player of various games over the past ten years.
- Her favorite games include Pick 3, Pick 4, Pick 5, as well as Multi-Match and FAST PLAY.
- While the Anne Arundel County local has previously secured prizes in the thousands, nothing had ever compared to her most recent jackpot win.
When questioned about her future plans regarding lottery play, she confidently responded, ‘Yes, I’ll play again. In fact, I plan on buying a few more tickets on my way home tonight.’
The fortunate lottery winner was also asked about her intentions following her recent jackpot success.
‘Ms. Anonymous’ revealed she has several plans in mind, including:
- Setting aside funds for an investment,
- Saving for her children’s future,
- Even supporting a nonprofit organization.
