Overview
- John Lang of Maryland matched all five numbers in a Bonus Match 5 drawing for $50,000 after using the ages of his grandchildren, which he updates each year.
- He bought and checked the ticket in Baltimore County, where a store employee told him in person, “Mr. John, you just won $50,000.”
- The Maryland Lottery publicized the win and highlighted that many participants select numbers tied to personal milestones.
- Lang says he will direct the money to home repairs and savings rather than any extravagant purchases.
- In a separate case shared by the Lottery, an anonymous Maryland player won $200,000 after playing a truck’s license-plate number 19363.
