A Germantown woman won the $50,000 top prize in the Holiday Luck Doubler game. The player, who goes by the nickname “Blessing from Above,” purchased the ticket at the Safeway in Germantown after cashing a $100 winning Pick 4 ticket which she used to buy scratch-offs.
“There were only two of the Holiday Luck Doubler in the machine, so I bought both of them,” said “Blessing from Above.” “The second ticket was the winner and I knew right away because I matched one of the winning numbers.”
The woman, who works in the medical field, said she plans to help family members financially and pay some bills with her winnings. She added that she also might take a trip.
The retail worker at Safeway, located at 19718 Germantown Road, will receive a $500 lottery bonus for selling the top-prize winning instant ticket.
The Holiday Luck Doubler scratch-off went on sale in October with six $50,000 prizes. The rest of the five remain unclaimed. There are 17 $5,000 prizes and more $5 to $1,000 prizes.
