Jan. 2 (UPI) — A Maryland man who won a $250,000 prize from a scratch-off lottery ticket returned to lottery headquarters eight years later to collect a $50,000 Powerball prize.
The Prince George’s County man, who nicknamed himself “The $50,000 Man,” told Maryland Lottery officials he bought his Powerball ticket for the Oct. 18 drawing from the Exxon at 6500 Suitland Road in Morningside.
He visited lottery headquarters in Baltimore on Friday to collect a $50,000 prize from matching four white balls in the drawing.
“I would have been a little happier if I had matched one more number, but this is still a great prize,” the federal employee said…
