A jackpot-winning $690,000 “Multi-Match” winner is burning a hole in somebody’s pocket after it was sold at a Frederick County grocery store for the Monday, Dec. 26 drawing, lottery officials announced.
The winning ticket with the numbers 02-03-16-30-37-42 was sold at Safeway on East Ridgeville Boulevard in Mount Airy, though the jackpot remains unclaimed.
It was the sixth “Multi-Match” jackpot winner in 2022 as the year winds to a close.
The winner - whenever one comes forward - will now have the choice between a $690,000 annuity paid over 25 years, or an estimated $460,000 cash option (both before taxes).
In addition, the Safeway store where the ticket was sold will receive a $1,000 bonus for selling it.
According to Lottery officials, "'Multi-Match, which started in 2006, is Maryland's in-state jackpot game, with tickets sold only in Maryland."
The latest “Multi-Match” jackpot was hit for $580,000 on Oct. 3, 2022.
The top four “Multi-Match” jackpot wins to date were:
- $4.8 million on Sept. 19, 2009;
