The lucky player, calling himself “Tony Stark” in honor of the character behind the super hero Iron Man, selected the winning $5 Deluxe Crossword 6th Edition scratch-off on a visit to his favorite retailer, Grace Grocery in Baltimore.

The winner has told only a few people about his luck. Much like the billionaire industrialist Tony Stark or "Iron Man," lottery winner “Tony Stark” says he plans to use the funds for an endeavor that will help his neighborhood. He wants to fulfill his dream of opening a corner store in his community.

His lucky game, the Deluxe Crossword scratch-off, joined the Maryland Lottery’s lineup of scratch-off games in June. 

The sixth edition of the popular scratch-off offers players a chance to win prizes from $5 to $50,000. With this win, the game has five unclaimed $50,000 top prizes remaining.

The lucky site that sold the ticket, Grace Grocery Market is located at 2435 West Lafayette Avenue in Baltimore. For selling the top-prize winning scratch-off, the store earned a $500 bonus from the Lottery.
