Mom wins ‘largest prize of her life’ after spending $5 on Maryland lottery. ‘Shocked’

A woman from Maryland has been patiently waiting her turn to score a big lottery prize.

Now she’s $100,000 richer.

The mom from Baltimore stopped at a convenience store and bought a few of The Big Spin scratch-offs that cost $5 each, the Maryland Lottery said in a May 7 news release.

She checked the tickets at the store, and one game had a “Congratulations” message.

She had uncovered “Spin” on the scratch-off, lottery officials said.

The woman then set up an appointment to play The Big Spin Wheel game at the lottery headquarters to win a prize from $50,000 to $250,000, the agency said.

She brought her fiance with her, and the couple closed their eyes as she spun it.

“When I heard the last click, that’s when I opened my eyes,” she said.

The cursor landed on $100,000, “the largest prize of her life.”

“I’m still shocked,” the woman told lottery officials. “I’ve been playing for so long and I was tired of reading people’s stories about buying a loaf of bread and one scratch-off and winning a top prize. I was waiting for my turn.”

Now the lucky player has plans to use her prize money on a trip to Las Vegas where she will fly on an airplane for the first time.

She also told lottery officials she wants to take her children on a cruise and to a water park.

“This came at the perfect time,” she said.
