Ellicott City Man Strikes “Gold”

Wins $50,000 on Gold Bar Bonus Scratch-Off

(Baltimore) - A 70-year-old man and his wife had much to celebrate over the holiday season.  A routine stop after work resulted in a $50,000 Lottery win for the Ellicott City man. “I was on my way home and decided to make a quick stop,” said the lucky winner.

The father-of-two purchased one random scratch-off and took it home to play. As he revealed the numbers he saw several matches. After calculating all the winning prize amounts, he was delighted to discover that he’d won $50,000.

The man, who works in construction, has some home renovation plans of his own. “I plan to fix up my condo in Florida with my winnings,” he said. “I’ll also pay some bills.”

The winning ticket was purchased at Normandy Wine, located at 8450 Baltimore-Natl. Pike in Ellicott City.
