Winner of $5 Million Lottery Prize in Maryland opts to maintain existing employment

In a remarkable turn of events, Troy Deneau, a 56-year-old resident of Dorchester County, Maryland, has once again struck gold in the Maryland Lottery's 50 Years! instant ticket game. This time, he has won a life-changing $5 million prize.

Deneau, the owner of a small fire-protection company, purchased the winning ticket from Dash In at 7201 Main Street in Worcester County. The store will receive a $5,000 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for selling the winning ticket.

This is not the first time Deneau has won big in the 50 Years! game. He has previously won other prizes, including $100, $200, and $10,000. In total, he has won three grand prizes from this particular lottery game.

The 50 Years! instant ticket game offers a total of three grand prizes: one $100,000, two $50,000, 18 $10,000, and various minor prizes yet to be claimed. There are still several unclaimed prizes, including one $100,000, two $50,000, 18 $10,000, and various minor prizes between $50 and $1,000.

Deneau, a passionate lottery player, has purchased many tickets for the Maryland Lottery's 50th anniversary game. Despite winning one of the top prizes, he plans to continue working. He initially planned to retire after winning the lottery, but he changed his mind.

In addition to his work, Deneau has also decided to continue his work as a volunteer firefighter after his second win in the Maryland Lottery's 50th-anniversary game. The $5 million prize will help him with his retirement plans.

The second $5 million prize from the 50 Years! instant ticket game has already been claimed. The winning ticket had a $75 scratch-off prize, and the second ticket had no win.

For those who haven't won yet, there's still time to try their luck with the 50 Years! game. With several unclaimed prizes, it could be your turn to win big!
