Maryland Player Wins $1 Million Scratch-Off as $31.3 Million Payout Week Stuns Lottery Players

Written by Published

A lucky player in Maryland just scored a life-changing $1 million win—and it all started with a simple stop at a gas station.

The winning scratch-off ticket was picked up at the 301 Travel Plaza on Crain Highway in Upper Marlboro, according to lottery officials. The game? A 100X Cash ticket—and clearly, it lived up to its name.

But that’s not the only big news. Maryland has been on a serious winning streak lately:

  • A FAST PLAY jackpot worth $828,616 was sold in Bel Air
  • Another FAST PLAY prize of $289,415 hit in Temple Hills
  • 38 winning tickets were sold statewide between March 23 and March 29
  • Total payouts? A massive $31.3 million

That’s a lot of happy players in just one week.

If you’re holding onto a ticket, don’t forget the basics:

  • Sign the back of your ticket right away to protect your prize
  • Keep an eye on expiration dates so you don’t miss out

Here’s a quick tip:
Draw game tickets expire 182 days after the draw date, while FAST PLAY tickets expire 182 days from the purchase date.

Bottom line? Whether it’s a quick stop at a gas station or a regular ticket purchase, you never know when luck might hit big.
