July 21 (UPI) — A Maryland woman who won a $100,000 lottery prize a few years ago scored another $50,000 prize — and this time, she said she’s keeping it a secret.
The Frederick woman told Maryland Lottery officials she bought three $50,000 CASH tickets from the Washingtonian Express convenience store in Frederick when she had only meant to buy two.
“This whole thing was an accident. I wanted to buy two $50,000 CASH tickets but hit the quantity button an extra time by accident,” she recalled.
The third ticket turned out to be a $50,000 winner.
The woman previously visited lottery headquarters in 2021 to collect a $100,000 prize from a bingo-themed scratch-off ticket.
“That this could happen to me again, it’s just mind-boggling,” she said. “The store was crowded so I fought back the urge to shout it out, to tell everyone what had just happened.”
The woman said that she plans to keep her most recent lottery win a secret.
