The Elkridge man, going by the nickname "Buzzsaw", had a craving for his local convenience store's chicken box when a "Multi-Match" ticket sparked his interest, according to Maryland Lottery officials.
"Buzzsaw" purchased four of the games at the Royal Farms store to try his luck, but did not rush to check on their results. Instead, he went home to enjoy his dinner.
“It was all about the chicken,” said "Buzzsaw".
After finishing his dinner, "Buzzsaw" went to bed, but not for long. The lucky player woke up in the middle of the night and decided to check his Lottery tickets as he lay awake. Shockingly, the Elkridge man had won the $750,000 jackpot.
“I said, ‘Darn, that’s all six. I never won this kind of money before in my life,’” he stated while claiming his prize.
“Buzzsaw” plans to celebrate his win with a vacation before putting the money toward buying a home, and said he has a newfound fondness for the Lottery.
The Royal Farms location on Lark Brown Road in Elkridge where the winning ticket was sold will also win a $1,000 bonus for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.
