Overview
- Maurice Williams, 59, of Washington, D.C., won a $5 million top prize on a $5,000,000 LUXE scratch-off bought at a 7-Eleven in Hyattsville, Maryland.
- He had just cashed a $50 win and used the same $50 to buy the ticket that hit the top prize.
- After scanning the ticket in his car and seeing the matching number 59, he called his mother, secured the ticket, and finished his school bus route.
- The Maryland Lottery confirmed the claim and said the Hyattsville 7-Eleven will receive a $5,000 retailer bonus.
- Williams says he will buy his mother a home and save the rest, and the LUXE game still has other top prizes available with odds near 1 in 2.5 to win any prize.
