The $100,000 win left the lucky lotto player stunned outside of Safeway on New Hampshire Avenue in Silver Spring after he scratched off a $10 50X The Cash ticket.
'It was very surprising," the occasional Lottery player - whose previously had only won approximately $500 - mused. "When I go shopping, sometimes I buy a ticket."
"I was stunned."
According to the winner, he has been working toward purchasing a home, and the unexpected windfall will go a long way toward that. He also plans to celebrate the win with a family dinner at a nice restaurant, he added.
