BALTIMORE, MD — A Randallstown man recently won the first $100,000 top prize on the Money Rush scratch-off game, attributing his luck to a premonition he had days before.
The fortunate player, a longtime scratch-off fan, had added the Maryland Lottery’s contact information to his phone the week before his big win. He had a feeling that his turn to win was coming soon. “I read the stories on the website all the time and I just knew that one day my turn would come,” he said.
Last week, the married father of three visited his local 7-Eleven and purchased a few scratch-off games, including two of the new $10 Money Rush tickets. After returning home, he used his lucky quarter to scratch the tickets. To his astonishment, he matched the number 26 for a $100,000 top-prize win.
“I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me and that it was really a $1,000 win,” said the Baltimore County resident. “But, when I scanned it on my phone, I saw that it was $100,000.”
Interestingly, the winning number was 26, and he bought and played the ticket on July 26. The winner’s wife initially thought something was wrong when he called her to confirm the win. “It was like a dream, but not a dream,” she said.
The winner plans to use the prize money for home repairs and will save the rest. The 7-Eleven at 9100 Liberty Road in Randallstown, which sold the winning ticket, will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Lottery.
The Money Rush game, launched on July 22, still has eight of the nine $100,000 top prizes remaining, along with numerous other prizes.
