Winning $100K Scratch-Off Ticket Sold At Maryland Royal Farms
A Maryland man knew he won on a Lottery scratcher, but he didn't realize he was in for a six-figure windfall. The random purchase of a Bingo X10 scratcher landed a Cecil County man - who chose to remain anonymous - a $100,000 jackpot, though he didn't realize it right away. According to officials, during a trip to Royal Farms on Jacob Tome Memorial Highway in Port Deposit, the scratch-off ticket caught his eye, and after picking it up on a whim, scanned it at the store, when he was instructed to head to Lottery Headquarters to claim his prize. He said that he knew it would be a "substantia…

Meticulous Maryland Woman Not Surprised By $50K Scratch-Off Lottery Win
A Maryland woman is basking in her own brilliance after doing her Lottery homework and winning a $50,000 prize on a scratch-off ticket she specifically picked out.
