Maryland resident obtains $500,000 sweepstakes winnings; intends to support beloved family members.
A lucky guy from Lanham just hit the jackpot, winning one of the top prizes from the Maryland Lottery's Bonus Bingo X20 2nd Edition scratch-off game, pocketing a cool $500,000. The delighted winner, who prefers to stay under the radar, shared that he'd be using the windfall to invest and help his loved ones.
Purchasing the golden ticket from Village Pump Liquors in College Park, this lucky son of a gun uncovered one of the three remaining top-tier prizes. For the store's sake, this means they'll be getting a bonus of $1,000 for selling the winner's ticket.
Having claimed his big win at the Maryland Lottery headquarters in Baltimore, the anonymous lucky winner confessed to having an extensive family. When asked about his plans for the cash, he chuckled: "I'll be helping them out and investing."
The Bonus Bingo X20 game was launched on February 10 this year, offering a range of prizes to lottery enthusiasts with a fancy for bingo-based games. Each $20 ticket offers a chance to win a prize between $20 and the top prize of $500,000. Sadly, three of these top prizes are still up for grabs, as the Lanham man's win makes it the second top prize claimed[2][3][5]. Apart from the big tickets, the game also offers tier-two and tier-three prizes, with 5 and 34 of these rewards left unclaimed, respectively. Lottery players can also win prizes ranging from $20 to $5,000. The overall chance of winning any prize stands at 1 in 2.97.

- The game also has a top prize listed as $30,000, but it is not consistent with the top-tier prizes; the confusion may arise from different prize tiers or updates in game details[4][5].
