Maryland engineer scores big on lottery scratch-off ticket

FREDERICK, MD — A Frederick County engineer was left speechless after winning $50,000 on the Maryland Lottery’s Ice scratch-off game, officials announced Wednesday.

The lucky winner purchased a $10 ticket at the Wawa located at 5833 Ballenger Creek Pike. After initially winning $10 and then $15 on two separate tickets, he played a third ticket and received a message from the scanner that read “Go to Lottery.” Unsure of the message’s meaning, he scratched the ticket himself.

“I needed to scratch that ticket to find out if I won anything,” he said. Upon revealing a matching number, he uncovered the $50,000 prize. “I was speechless. It was a nice surprise.”

The winner plans to use the money to help his family and pay off bills.
