Nottingham Man Takes Home $100,000 5 Card Cash Prize

Shock couldn’t even describe what a 34-year-old Maryland state employee was feeling today as he claimed a $100,000 5 Card Cash prize. He floated on air as he entered Lottery headquarters this afternoon basking in the glow of this recent win. “This feels like a dream,” said the recently married man.

This baseball fan was only playing 5 Card Cash so that he could enter his non-winning tickets into the “Hit it Big” second-chance contest. Actually winning a cash prize on the game itself was the last thing on his mind. “Are you kidding, me,” he exclaimed. “This is crazy.”

The father-of-four purchased the ticket yesterday and put it in his pocket not thinking to check it until today while at work. He went on the computer and saw that his ticket matched last night’s drawing, suit and rank. The winner said he immediately called his wife to share the news. But, she thought that since the cards were not in the same order, that it was not a winner. “Boy is she going to be surprised,” he smiled. Still, to make sure, he told his boss he was leaving for the day and checked the ticket two more times at a Lottery retailer. Confirmed for the third time, the winner headed to Lottery headquarters to claim the prize.

We can get that house now,” he said when asked what his plans were for the winnings. But, he was still too excited to say what else he might do. “Tell my wife it’s been confirmed,” he said. “She’s been sitting on pins and needles since I told her.” The winning ticket was purchased at the 7-11 store located at 9617 Belair Road in Nottingham.

This is the second 5 Card Cash $100,000 top-prize win since the game began in November 2012.

Players can enter non-winning 5 Card Cash tickets, with the Orioles logo on the top of the ticket, at mdlottery.com/orioles. The contest offers players the chance to win cash and prizes.

Newly retired Pikesville woman wins first $100,000 top prize

Lottery officials have been patiently awaiting the arrival of the 5 Card Cash game’s first $100,000 top-tier winner from the February 28 drawing. The mystery was solved today when a Pikesville woman claimed the prize. The 58-year-old recently found the ticket — under her car mat — when she went to renew her vehicle’s registration.

The lucky winner decided to check the ticket at a store, which is when she learned the prize was too high to cash and she had to take it to Lottery headquarters. After returning home, the woman went on the Lottery’s website and saw that her ticket matched all five cards drawn. “I called my aunt and uncle right away,” she said. “They just told me that this couldn’t have happened to a better person.”

To make things even sweeter, the lucky woman realized her big win only days after retiring from her job as a corrections officer. “This is a pretty big week for me,” the woman said quietly. “I’ve never won anything this big before. It’ll be nice having this money now that I’m retired.”

The new retiree plans to pay off some bills and is looking forward to enjoying retirement to the fullest. “Now that I’m retired, I have some time to take care of a few things,” she said smiling. “When I go home, I’ll just get back to my spring cleaning. I’ve really been trying to get that done.” The lucky ticket was purchased at the Plaza Amoco BP at 6220 Reisterstown Rd. in Baltimore City.

Parkville woman claims $10,000 during Keno/5 Card Cash promotion

A Parkville woman took full advantage of the most recent Keno promotion which offers a free 5 Card Cash ticket with a $10 Keno purchase.  To her surprise, the free 5 Card Cash ticket printed with a Royal Flush worth $10,000.

The woman, who plays $10 on Keno every week, had no idea what her ticket was worth when it first printed out. “At first I thought I needed to wait until the evening,” she told Lottery officials. “My friend saw the ticket, and told me that I had definitely won something big.” After double checking with a 5 Card Cash pamphlet she was shocked to see that her ticket was worth $10,000.

The humble winner saw this was life’s way of “paying it forward.” The woman, who works two jobs and always jumps at the chance to help others, is excited to be able to pass the generosity on. “I’m definitely going to give the bartender who sold me my ticket a nice tip when I see him next,” she said with a huge grin.

The first-time 5 Card Cash player said she will definitely continue to take advantage of the promotion while playing Keno through the rest of the month. She plans to use some of the winnings to help a friend and wants to save the rest. The winning ticket was purchased at Freddies, located at 660 Boulton Street in Bel Air. Through November 25, 2012, all Keno purchases of at least $10 will receive a free 5 Card Cash ticket.
