0K Winning Scratch-Off Ticket Claimed By Laurel Computer Programmer

LAUREL, MD — A Prince George’s County man who purchased a $10 Money Drop scratch-off now happens to be $100,000 richer.

The computer programmer bought the lucky instant ticket at Sandy Spring Exxon, 7801 Old Sandy Spring Road in Laurel. He stopped in to buy gas and felt compelled to purchase a scratch-off ticket. He only plays a few times a year, he said.

“I looked over and saw the purple in the Money Drop scratch-offs so I decided to buy one,” he told Maryland Lottery officials.

When he started to scratch off the game, the winner saw that his number 18 on the first line matched one of the game’s winning numbers. Yidden below his winning number 18 was the $100,000 top prize. The win took a while to register, he said, as he continued to scratch off the rest of the instant ticket. Then, he went back to the top of the game to look at his matching number again.

“At first, I didn’t believe it. I took a picture to send to my friend,” the lotto player said with a smile.

The big winner plans to pay bills with his windfall and place the rest of his prize into his bank account. Sandy Spring Exxon in Prince George’s County will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for selling a $100,000 winning instant ticket.

Maryland Weather: Heavy storms before weekend sun

Very humid along with scattered storms Thursday with a fantastic weekend of weather ahead

02:28

BALTIMORE — Tropical humidity along with scattered storms continue today with a fantastic weekend of weather to follow.

The air is warm and muggy and showers will linger through the first half of the day.

Morning temperatures are in the mid to upper 70s and we’re top out in the mid to upper 80s this afternoon.

More scattered showers and storms are possible this afternoon and evening ahead of a strong cold front. We could see some stronger thunderstorms, with isolated pockets of damaging winds possible. In addition to downpours, frequent cloud to ground lightning is possible along with some small hail. The greatest risk is 2 PM and 8 PM.

Humidity levels will fall late tonight, but the drop off in humidity will be most noticeable Friday. Friday looks fantastic with a mixture of sunshine and clouds, a northerly breeze, and highs in the middle to upper 80s.

We’ll continue with the nice weather right through the weekend. Go ahead and make outdoor plans! Both days feature sunshine with highs near 90°. Humidity levels over the weekend will stay nice and low.

Monday will be a transition day with increasing humidity and the chance for a few showers later in the day, mainly well west of Baltimore. Highs on Monday climb into the lower 90s.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be tropical in terms of humidity with some drenching afternoon and evening thunderstorms in some places. These will be of the hit or miss variety. Highs will be in the lower 90s, however, it will feel hotter with the high humidity.
