An Annapolis resident’s routine purchase of lottery tickets on behalf of her aunt led to an unexpected windfall when she decided to buy a scratch-off for herself, securing a $50,000 prize. The fortunate event unfolded after the woman received a reminder through an instant message, prompting her to visit the Chesapeake Market Citgo at 502 South Cherry Grove, a spot she frequents for her lottery purchases.
With $20 initially intended for lottery games, the Anne Arundel County resident faced a decision: to opt for a single $20 ticket or two $10 tickets. Ultimately, she chose a $10 “50X The Cash” scratch-off, which led to her remarkable win. The discovery of a 50X symbol over $1,000 on her ticket left her in disbelief. “I became weak and pale, and almost passed out,” the winner recounted, highlighting the moment’s overwhelming joy.
The healthcare worker, who values privacy, shared the exhilarating news with her family, who shared in her excitement. The winnings come with a plan: she intends to purchase a car, further enhancing her life outside of her work in private healthcare. When not engaged in her profession or participating in the lottery, she enjoys quality time with her children, watching television, and engaging in outdoor activities like hiking and biking.
The “50X The Cash” scratch-off game, part of the broader X The Cash family, was launched in January, offering players a variety of winning opportunities. The Annapolis woman claimed the first of ten $50,000 prizes available in the game, with additional prizes including nine $100,000 top prizes, 27 $10,000 prizes, and numerous others ranging from $10 to $1,000.
Adding to the game’s appeal is a second-chance promotion for players holding non-winning X the Cash scratch-offs. By entering these tickets into the My Lottery Rewards program, participants gain eligibility for five second-chance drawings, with prizes spanning from $50,000 to $75,000. Further details on the promotion can be found HERE.
The win not only marks a significant moment in the life of the Annapolis woman but also highlights the allure and potential rewards of participating in the lottery. With numerous prizes still up for grabs and the second-chance promotion underway, the X The Cash family of games continues to offer exciting possibilities for players across the region.
