Overview
- Maurice Williams discovered the $5 million win by scanning his $5,000,000 LUXE ticket in his car after nearly missing the matching number.
- He had stopped at a 7-Eleven in Hyattsville, Maryland, to cash a $50 prize and used that money to buy the winning ticket.
- After confirming the result, he called his mother, put the ticket away, finished his workday, and later set an appointment to claim the prize.
- Williams says he will buy his mother a house with part of the winnings and plans to save the rest for future decisions.
- The LUXE scratch-off launched in February with three $5 million top prizes, and the lottery lists two still unclaimed along with nine $200,000 prizes, ten $50,000 prizes, and many smaller awards.
