$50K Winning Lotto Ticket Boosts Sick Catonsville Man's Spirits, Will Help Pay Bills

CATONSVILLE, MD — After facing tough times from a health perspective, a Catonsville man couldn't believe his luck after he won $50,000 in a "bonus match 5" game. The Baltimore County resident had played the game Aug. 13, but waited to cash in recently due to being preoccupied with medical appointments.

In fact, after the 68-year-old man left lottery headquarters, he headed straight to a medical appointment. But the win has buoyed the man's spirits, his wife told the lottery, and the money will come in handy.

“We’ll pay off some bills and then get some things done on the house,” the winner’s wife explained.

The Giant at 6223 Baltimore National Pike in Catonsville sold the hot ticket and will receive $500, equal to 1 percent of the prize, from the lottery for selling a top-prize winning bonus match 5 ticket.
