The lucky player won the $100,000 top prize after his friend purchased the $100,000 Lucky game at 7-Eleven in Riverdale, according to the Maryland Lottery.
The duo scanned the scratch-off at a different Lottery retailer and discovered the win, hiding their excitement as they quietly left the store, officials say.
The 25-year-old says before this win, the most he had ever won was $20 on a game.
He plans to share the win with his friend who purchased the ticket saying, "It's only right", Lottery officials state.
