Number switch earns Maryland man his second major lottery prize
(Web Desk) - A Maryland man said changing his numbers at the last minute led to winning his second major lottery prize.
The 36-year-old Baltimore man told Maryland Lottery officials he was grocery shopping with his girlfriend at Redner s Warehouse Market in Baltimore on Saturday when he decided to play the lottery s Racetrax virtual horse racing game.
"I normally play 1, 2, 6 and 7," the player said. He said he was able to buy his ticket when "something said to play 12."
The man s $16 wager on 2-6-7-12 ended up winning him a $20,177 jackpot.
"I turned to my girlfriend and said, I just won 20 grand, " the winner recalled.
The man previously had a brush with lottery luck when he entered the Warehouse Dash second-chance drawing in 2018 and won a trip to Chicago and a 90-second shopping spree at a warehouse.
