Longtime lottery player ‘lost his breath' after another big win. ‘I'm back again'
A lottery player 'lost his breath for a second' when he scratched his Lots of Cash ticket. It was a $50,000 winner, and 'the moment immediately brought back memories' from another big lottery windfall years earlier, Maryland Lottery officials said in a July 17 news release. The man, from St. Mary's County, previously won $100,000, lottery officials said. 'At the time, I never thought I'd win another top prize,' he told lottery officials. 'Years later, I'm back again.' The man bought his most recent top-prize ticket at a gas station in Clements, according to lottery officials. He first grabbed some scratch-offs for $1 each, winning $20. He put $15 toward gas and bought the $5 Lots of Cash ticket with the rest, according to lottery officials. He intends to pay bills and help out loved ones with winnings, lottery officials said. And he has no plans to quit on the lottery. 'I'll definitely keep playing,' he said, per the release. 'Maybe lightning will strike a third time.' Clements is about an 85-mile drive south from Baltimore.

Lottery player wins top prize — his second in under two months. ‘Crying tears of joy'
A Maryland lottery player took home a top prize from a scratch-off ticket — his second in under two months. As the Greenbelt man scratched his $5 Lots of Cash ticket while he was home with his wife, he noticed he matched a winning number, Maryland Lottery officials said in a Feb. 18 news release. That match came with a top prize of $50,000. 'We were happy and crying tears of joy,' the subcontractor told lottery officials. Less than two months earlier, the man also won a top $50,000 top prize on a $5 20X The Cash scratch-off ticket, lottery officials said. The winner told lottery officials 'he can't believe that he won twice.' 'I will see you again next month,' he said in the release. Greenbelt is about a 30-mile drive southwest from Baltimore.
