Talk about having a good day. A Rockville woman won the Maryland Lottery on April 22 and became $1.4 million richer.
The 20-year-old, whose name was not identified by the Maryland Lottery, purchased the Multi-Match quick-pick ticket for the April 22 drawing at the Giant grocery store located at 625 Hungerford Drive in Rockville.
“I just got lucky. I was very surprised, I was not expecting it at all,” the woman said in a Maryland Lottery press release.
She told lottery officials that she plans to invest her winnings.
The Rockville resident won the second of the three Multi-Match jackpots hit in 2021. A Baltimore County woman won a $2.75 million jackpot on Feb. 4 on a ticket sold by 7-Eleven #32287 in Owings Mills. And, a Multi-Match subscriber just won a $520,000 jackpot in the May 3 drawing.
The Giant in Rockville earns a $1,400 bonus from the lottery for selling the winning ticket.
Congratulations to the $1.4 MILLION Multi-Match winner! The ticket was sold at Giant in Rockville. https://t.co/RHUJIbpN2Y pic.twitter.com/35VB14kvBJ
