Sept. 16 (UPI) — A Maryland woman bought two identical tickets for a single Pick 5 lottery drawing and ended up winning a pair of $50,000 prizes for a total of $100,000.
The Prince George’s County woman told Maryland Lottery officials she was out running errands with her sister Aug. 28 when she realized she had not bought any tickets for the evening’s lottery drawings.
She stopped at Ardwick Liquors on Ardwick-Ardmore Road in Landover and bought two tickets each for the evening’s Pick 3, Pick 4 and Pick 5 drawings.
The player checked the results while heading home home later and discovered her Pick 5 tickets had both won $50,000 on her $1 straight bets…
