Trump Card Player Dealt $50,000 Win

Baltimore Woman Takes Home Top Prize

 

(Baltimore) – A lucky mother-of-two didn’t want to get her hopes up after scratching a winning $50,000 Trump Card scratch-off ticket. In fact, she didn’t believe her ticket was a winner until it was verified at Lottery Headquarters.

The 24-year-old bought the Trump Card scratch-off along with several other tickets on Monday and scratched them in the car with her boyfriend. “He told me it was a winner, but I didn’t believe it,” said the Baltimore player. So, she went back inside the store where the cashier also confirmed her ticket as a winner.  “I kept reading the ticket over and over, but it just didn’t seem real,” she said.

Even in the Lottery’s Claim Center, the winner was still in denial. “There was a man before me who thought he won more than he did and I thought the same thing would happen to me,” she sighed. Fortunate for her, it didn’t and her $50,000 win was confirmed.

The young woman, who is a nursing assistant, said she is going to do some shopping with her winnings and try to move. She will also use some of the money towards a trip to Wildwood, New Jersey. The winning ticket was purchased at Wabash Discount Liquors located at 3741 Wabash Avenue in Baltimore.

This is the second $50,000 Trump Card win in the last couple of days. A Frederick winner also claimed the scratch-off’s top prize this week.
