A Maryland mother won a big lottery prize thanks to a clever strategy by her son.
When sent by his mother to buy a lottery ticket, the young man, lacking inspiration about the numbers he should choose, decided to use the numbers that another person was marking on his Pick 5 game ticket.
Days later, the 68-year-old mother reviewed the winning numbers on her phone while at the doctor’s office.
That’s when he realized he had won $50,000.
“This money comes as much-needed relief,” said the lucky winner.
The winner said that the news left her so shocked that she needed a few moments to calm down before leaving the office.
The lucky player plans to use her prize to pay off some debts and make improvements to her home.
