A Baltimore man is celebrating a significant lottery win, attributing his success to a piece of advice from his grandmother. The unnamed winner shared that his strategy for playing the lottery was inspired by a simple yet profound principle his grandmother taught him years ago. “She told me, ‘not everyone can be lucky every day,'” he recounted to Maryland Lottery officials.
Taking his grandmother’s wisdom to heart, the man devised a system: whenever he felt the urge to play the lottery, he would buy two scratch-off tickets. If neither ticket won, he would consider his luck spent for the day and stop playing. However, if one of the tickets revealed a prize, he would continue playing. This method, rooted in his grandmother’s advice, has proven to be quite effective over the years.
Recently, this strategy paid off in a big way at the EZ Quick Food Market on Mountain Road in Pasadena. The man purchased a Mega Money scratch-off ticket, which revealed a winning combination, earning him a $50,000 prize. This win adds to his total lottery winnings, which now exceed $150,000.
Reflecting on his good fortune, the man credited his grandmother’s advice for his consistent success. “I’ve won big twice before, but the last time was a long time ago. I wasn’t sure it would ever happen again,” he admitted. Despite the long gap between major wins, his grandmother’s wisdom has clearly stood the test of time.
The Maryland Lottery emphasizes that playing the lottery should be for entertainment purposes only. However, for this lucky Baltimore resident, a blend of wisdom and chance has resulted in a winning combination. His story serves as a testament to the enduring impact of his grandmother’s advice and the power of a thoughtful approach to playing the lottery.
