$1 Million In Pick 5 Tickets Sold By Gaithersburg Store

GAITHERSBURG, MD — The midday Pick 5 drawing on Oct. 14 may have produced a million-dollar win for a customer of Shady Grove Beer & Wine in Gaithersburg, the Maryland Lottery said in a news release.

The Montgomery County retailer sold 20 $1 straight-bet Pick 5 tickets for the Oct. 14 midday drawing that matched the winning number of 82466. Each of those tickets is a $50,000 winner, and if all 20 were purchased by the same person, the total prize is $1 million, making it the biggest win of the week.

As of Monday morning, none of those 20 Pick 5 prizes had been claimed, lottery officials said.

Including all 20 of the Pick 5 tickets that were purchased in Gaithersburg, 53 winning tickets worth $10,000 or more were sold or redeemed in the seven days ending Oct. 16, and the Lottery paid nearly $28.1 million in prizes during that span.

Winners of prizes larger than $25,000 must redeem their tickets at the Maryland Lottery Customer Resource Center in Baltimore, which is open by appointment only. More information is available on the How To Claim page of mdlottery.com.
