A Waldorf man has won $50,000 twice in the past year, with the latest win coming from the July 17 Bonus Match 5 drawing. The man, who has played the lottery for about 20 years, bought his winning ticket at the Dash In on Smallwood Drive.
The Latest Win
The man's most recent prize came from the Bonus Match 5 game, a daily drawing that offers a top prize of $50,000. The winning ticket was purchased at the Dash In on Smallwood Drive in Waldorf. The Maryland Lottery has not released the man's name, as winners are not required to come forward publicly.
The First Win
Before that, the man won $50,000 through a Maryland Lottery Second Chance ticket. Second Chance drawings give players another shot at prizes using non-winning tickets. The man's first win came within the same year as his latest, though the exact date of that drawing wasn't disclosed.
Two Decades of Playing
The man has been playing the lottery for roughly 20 years, according to lottery officials. His two wins come from different games, and he's now won a total of $100,000 in the span of a year. The July 17 drawing was the latest in the Bonus Match 5 game, which offers a top prize of $50,000.
