Dec. 31 (UPI) — A number-obsessed Maryland woman said her fixation on digits led to her winning a $50,000 top prize from a Bonus Match 5 lottery drawing.
The Baltimore County woman told Maryland Lottery officials she takes special note of number combinations she sees every day.
“I see numbers everywhere,” the player said. “Numbers by themselves, series of them — everywhere I look.”
The woman said she frequently studies combinations of winning lottery numbers and uses them to play Bonus Match 5.
“For some reason, the numbers and combinations that come to me have worked best with Bonus Match 5, so that’s what I play,” she said.
She bought a ticket for the Dec. 23 Bonus Match 5 drawing at Compass Beer Pump on Compass Road in Middle River. The ticket turned out to be a $50,000 top prize winner.
“I said to myself, ‘It finally worked,'” the winner recalled. “I’ve won plenty of times these last years, but this is my biggest ever.”
