A Maryland woman decided to try her luck with a Lucky Times 10 Scratch-Off game while at work, and when she realized she won, she scared everyone else with her scream.
The 48-year-old said she likes to play the lottery regularly and even has a lucky coin that she uses to scratch off all her instant lottery tickets, she told state lottery officials.
Previously, the woman had won prizes of $100 and $500 in the same Scratch-Off game, but this time the woman won a whopping $50,000.
“I started screaming and had to close the door. My coworkers asked me if I was okay. I still can’t believe it,” said the lucky woman, according to the Miami Herald.
Once she had calmed down, the winner said she called her daughter and her husband to tell them the good news.
Now, the mother said she plans to use her new fortune to renovate a new condo she just bought with her husband.
The winning ticket was purchased at a Giant store in Rockville, Maryland, about 20 miles northwest of Washington, D.C.
