Hagerstown Woman Has a Lucky Day with Lucky Lines
Wins $30,000 Scratch-off Top Prize

 
(Baltimore) – A Hagerstown woman enjoyed her morning routine of eating breakfast and reading the paper last Saturday. She then decided to take a trip to Maugans I Mart where she often buys Lottery  tickets and food. “They are friendly and they know me there, so I stopped by to say hi,” she explained. It was during her stop that her routine day changed dramatically. “I usually play Keno and scratch-offs along with doing my shopping.”  Saturday, she purchased a Lucky Lines scratch-off.  She hadn’t even scratched the entire ticket, before giving it to the cashier to see if it was a winner.  After scanning it, the cashier told her to take the ticket to Lottery headquarters.

The 44-year-old winner, who is single and works at Mary Baldwin College, figured it was at least a $1,000 winning ticket. She told the cashier she’d wait to scratch the rest at home. Curious to know how much she won, the cashier asked her to finish scratching the ticket at the store. She did, and it revealed a $30,000 top prize.  “Oh my goodness,” the cashier yelled.  

The winner, who expressed tremendous gratitude, plans to pay off her debts and give her parents a gift. The winning ticket was purchased at Maugans I Mart at 18403 Maugans Avenue in Hagerstown.
