$20K Winning Lottery Ticket Stuns Dundalk Mom, Plans To Pay Down Debt

DUNDALK, MD — Winning the lottery once is amazing but twice is doubly fantastic according to a Dundalk resident. The Baltimore County woman revealed not one but two $10,000 amounts on her "$1,000 loaded" scratch-off ticket, winning one of the game’s second-tier $20,000 prizes.

The woman had bought the $10 ticket when she popped by a convenience store. She couldn't believe what she saw as she scratched away the cover and revealed her prizes.

I saw the first two numbers and got excited for a $10 win, but the number just kept going,”she said. “When I revealed the full $10,000 prize, I thought I must not be seeing this right."

She rushed through the house to share the excitement of the win, waking her sleeping spouse, the winner told the Maryland Lottery. While showing the $10,000 prize to her spouse, she scratched off the remainder of the ticket. Luck struck again while doing so, revealing another $10,000 prize on her ticket.

“I just about had a heart attack,” she said.

The rest of the evening was a sleepless night of excitement. The lucky winner said she plans to use some of the prize to pay down debt, get a new wardrobe for her kids and help her family.

The winning ticket was sold at the Wise Avenue BP located at 7801 Wise Avenue in Dundalk.
