$50K Lotto Ticket Claimed By College Park Man Who Plans To Buy A Car

COLLEGE PARK, MD — A Prince George's resident has won $50,000 playing Keno with the Maryland Lottery.

The government employee, who has played lottery games for more than 30 years, bought his Keno ticket at the Eastern Avenue BP at 4501 Eastern Avenue in Mt. Rainier.

“I was overjoyed and shocked when I realized I won,” said the lottery winner. “It almost didn’t seem real. I honestly think I was in the right place at the right time.”

Since winning, the lucky lotto player has kept a low profile, sharing the news only with his sister. When asked about his plans for the windfall, he expressed an interest in helping his family, buying a small car and saving a significant portion of his winnings for a rainy day.

The Eastern Avenue BP in Prince George’s County will receive a lottery bonus of $500 for selling a winning Keno ticket of $10,000 or more.
