What seemed to be a tremendous carelessness and a serious mistake ended up being the best mistake he could have made in his life, since due to this he ended up earning $150,000 Pick 5 lottery draw dollars.
A man from 67 years old, from Towson, Maryland, who preferred to remain anonymous, accidentally purchased a ticket for the Pick 5 noon and late night drawings on 25 to 25 in September, when it had already been done. He just wanted to make sure he would have a ticket because he would undergo surgery in those days.
The man said that his wife, not knowing that he had already bought tickets for the raffle twice, bought him a third ticket for the same draw, all with the same combination.
The chosen numbers were 5-1-3-5-9, the same ones that gave him that amount of money. The lucky man explained that this combination is based on his wife’s birthday
“The only time I accidentally bought 3 tickets, the number hits 3 times. It was amazing,” said the player.
Interestingly, he had previously won a jackpot in a Pick 3 drawing and won a jackpot earlier this month in the Pick 4 noon 2 of September. He said that a lucky mistake also played a role in that incident.
“I went to play the year of my daughter’s birth : 1979. The store clerk made a mistake and gave me the wrong number: 1997. When I got home later, guess what digits they dialed that day? 1997!” he added.
The winner said he plans to share his prize with his 2 daughters.
