A Bethesda store sold a winning lottery ticket last week to a Virginia resident who works in Washington, D.C.
The $150,000 winning Powerball ticket was sold at the Talbert’s Ice & Beverage store, located at 5234 River Road.
The winner, an unamed 66-year-old chef who lives in Vienna, works in the District. He plays the multistate jackpot games Powerball and Mega Millions and buys lottery tickets in Virginia, the District and Maryland.
The man told Maryland Lottery officials he has met with success in past drawings, he won $150,000 previously with a ticket he purchased in Washington, D.C.
This prize will help him professionaly and personally. He sold his house at one point to keep his restaurant going, so he plans to use some of these winnings to help his restaurant. He also plans to use the winnings to put a down payment on a house.
This is or course not the first time Talbert’s sold a winning lottery ticket. In November, 2021, Maryland Lottery announced a lucky Chevy Chase woman had won $50,000 three times with tickets purchased at Talbert’s.
