BALTIMORE — A Charles County woman who goes by “Spaghetti Grandma” won $110,000 on The Big Spin scratch-off, the Maryland Lottery announced Friday. She spun the game’s prize wheel at Lottery headquarters in Baltimore on Nov. 10, and the win was the final top prize in the game since its March 20 launch, according to the Lottery’s announcement.
She bought the $5 ticket at the Wine Cellar, 3722 Crain Highway in Waldorf. The winner told Lottery officials she was on a Chick-fil-A run with her granddaughter when she stopped for the ticket. The store will receive a $1,000 bonus for selling it. Prizes on The Big Spin’s wheel ranged from $50,000 to $250,000.
It was not her first Lottery win. She told officials she won another prize “a few years back,” the Lottery said. Her cousin scheduled the claim appointment and went with her to Baltimore. She plans to use the money for home renovations.
Winners of prizes this size generally claim them by appointment at Lottery headquarters in Baltimore, rather than at a retailer.
The win adds to a run of large Lottery prizes in Charles County in recent weeks. The Chronicle reported on Oct. 21 that a Charles County contractor won $500,000 on a Gifts of Green scratch-off. On Nov. 2, the Chronicle reported that a Waldorf Army veteran won $150,405 in Bonus Match 5.
