According to officials, a woman in Maryland was left “shaken and crying” after finding out about her enormous lottery victory.
According to a June 3 news release from the Maryland Lottery, the fortunate finance worker purchased a $30 Mega Money instant ticket in Prince George’s County and chose to begin scratching it over her lunch break.
She recognized she had won $2 million not long after she started to scratch the ticket, according to officials. As per the release, 10 $50,000 awards were held in the first two lines.
“It was a lot of $50,000 prizes and I just knew that I won $2,000,000,” she stated to officials.
According to officials, she concealed the ticket in order to “avoid drawing attention” and skipped the remainder of the game at home.
At that point, the woman discovered, per the press release, that each of the game’s 40 numbers held a $50,000 prize. According to officials, the woman intends to save the remaining funds after using the money for a down payment on a home.
