$100K Winning Scratch Ticket Will Help Dad Put Down Payment On New House
Thanks to a $100,000 winning scratch-off ticket, a Prince George's County dad will be going house hunting for his family.
PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — After winning $100,000 on a Gold scratch-off ticket, a 24-year-old Hyattsville dad happily can go house hunting. The lucky guy bought his ticket at the Save-a-Lot in Bladensburg on a whim, since he usually plays PowerBall and MegaMillions.
A meat packer, the anonymous winner said he didn't reveal his big win to anyone other than his family and planned to keep his prize a secret. The Hyattsville resident plans to use his winnings to make a down payment on a house.
The Save-a-Lot at 5416 Annapolis Road in Bladensburg received a $1,000 bonus from the lottery for selling the top-prize-winning ticket.
