A Takoma Park Sunoco gas station recently sold a winning Maryland Lottery ticket.
Jose Fuentes, a restaurant worker from Hyattsville, traveled to Lottery headquarters in Baltimore Friday to redeem his winnings. He told lottery officials, “I had no idea how much I won. I didn’t realize it was that much.”
He is still considering his options but did tell lottery officials, “I am probably going to buy a new house.”
Fuentes won the progressive jackpot in the Fast Play World Championship Poker game with a $5 ticket.
The Sunoco Ethio gas station located at 6907 New Hampshiire Avenue in Takoma Park earns a bonus of $1,000 for selling the winning ticket.
