Glen Burnie Woman Claims $50,000 Top Prize on Maryland Scratch-Off
A Glen Burnie woman bought the $20 ticket at Buy-N-Go during a snack stop, verified the prize with the My Lottery Rewards app and planned to save the winnings.
A routine snack stop in Glen Burnie led to a $50,000 lottery prize for a 21-year-old woman who bought a $20 Maryland scratch-off and later claimed the game’s top award.
The Glen Burnie resident claimed the prize at Maryland Lottery headquarters in Baltimore on Sept. 23, 2026. Her winning ticket came from the $50,000 Cash scratch-off game.
She purchased the ticket at Buy-N-Go, a retailer at 13 Aquahart Road in Glen Burnie. The store is in Anne Arundel County and is eligible for a $500 bonus because it sold the ticket that produced the top-prize win.
The winner had been playing the Lottery for about a year before the prize claim. She started after hearing stories about other people winning large prizes.
The winning ticket did not immediately seem real to her. She scratched it after returning home from the snack stop and initially suspected that the apparent $50,000 result might not be genuine.
She then used the My Lottery Rewards app to scan the ticket. The app confirmed that the scratch-off carried the $50,000 prize.
The scan gave her a way to check the ticket before she went to Maryland Lottery headquarters in Baltimore to claim the award. The prize claim on Sept. 23 marked the completion of that process, while the winning purchase remained tied to the Glen Burnie retailer.
At the time she claimed the money, the winner had told only her mother about the prize. She planned to save the winnings and hoped to use the money well.
She also planned to continue playing the Lottery and hoped to win another prize. The $50,000 award was the top prize on the $20 ticket she bought at Buy-N-Go.
The game itself has been available for several years. The Maryland Lottery launched $50,000 Cash in late 2022.
When the game information was published with the prize news, $50,000 Cash had 51 top prizes remaining. The game originally included 160 top prizes worth $50,000 each.
The scheduled end date for the game was May 2027. That timeline placed the Glen Burnie prize claim within the remaining period for the scratch-off, which still had top prizes listed as available when the story was published.
