Aberdeen Woman Wins Ravens Tickets For 20 Years From Maryland Lottery

ABERDEEN, MD — A lifelong Ravens fan from Aberdeen has been drawn from among more than a million entries in the Maryland Lottery's “Ravens Seats For 20 Years” second chance promotion.

Shannan Brown of Aberdeen told lottery officials her dad was smiling down on her Wednesday after she won the tickets. Brown 's prize includes a pair of club-level seats and a parking pass for every Baltimore Ravens preseason and regular season game for the next two decades.

"We lost my dad last year. He was a Vietnam vet and the life of every Ravens game we watched,” Brown said. “Although his health wouldn’t allow him to go to a game, we stayed right by his side and cheered the Ravens on together. We took the games very seriously. I mean, birthdays were placed on hold for goodness sake. I believe deep in my heart my dad is watching over us and wanted this to be the very last gift he could present to me and my family in his absence."

Brown was one of six finalists vying for the prize. All six finalists and their guests were invited to M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore for a tour where each finalist also received $10,000. There at the stadium Wednesday is where former Ravens and Towson University running back Terrance West announced the winner. Brown was accompanied by her husband and kids, and began to scream and cry, lottery officials said.
