Feb. 13 (UPI) — A Maryland man used $20 in lottery winnings to buy a scratch-off ticket that earned him a $50,000 prize.
The Middle River man told Maryland Lottery officials he had $10 left after making a purchase at the Kwik Mart store on Middle River Road, so he used it to buy a scratch-off ticket.
The ticket earned him a $20 prize, which he used to buy a $20 100X The Cash ticket.
The player’s second ticket earned him a $50,000 prize.
The man said he plans to use his winnings to take his partner on a vacation later this year.
