Maryland Pick 5 Player Turns $1 Straight Bet Into $50,000 Prize
A Charlotte Hall electrician matched 15670 on a $1 straight Pick 5 ticket bought in Bowie, winning $50,000; the selling 7-Eleven will receive a $500 bonus.
A $1 straight bet on Maryland Pick 5 became a $50,000 prize for an electrician from Charlotte Hall after his ticket matched the numbers drawn on September 6, 2026. The ticket was purchased in Bowie, Maryland, turning a routine play of a game he regularly enters into a major win.
The winning ticket was sold at the 7-Eleven at 9500 Ruby Lockhart Boulevard in Bowie. The location is separate from the winner’s home in Charlotte Hall, placing the ticket purchase and the player’s residence in different Maryland communities.
The player wagered $1 on a straight Pick 5 bet. His ticket carried the five-digit combination 15670, which matched the combination drawn for the September 6 evening drawing.
The Maryland Lottery identifies the prize as a $50,000 Pick 5 win. Players seeking current draw information can check the latest Maryland Pick 5 results page.
The winning combination became part of the player’s evening check after he returned home. He looked up the evening winning numbers on the Maryland Lottery website, where he discovered that his ticket matched the drawn combination.
The player regularly plays Pick 5, so the winning ticket came from a game that was already part of his routine. The $1 wager and the eventual $50,000 prize marked a sharp difference between the amount spent on the ticket and the value of the prize.
After learning about the win, the electrician shared the news with his wife and father. His father also plays Pick 5, giving the family a shared connection to the game involved in the prize.
The father accompanied the winner when he went to claim the prize. The prize claim took place at Maryland Lottery headquarters on September 23, 2026, following the September 6 drawing.
The winner plans to invest the $50,000 winnings. That plan was identified after the prize was claimed and gives the player a stated use for the money beyond the initial discovery of the winning ticket.
The ticket sale also brings a bonus to the Bowie retailer. The 7-Eleven at 9500 Ruby Lockhart Boulevard will receive $500 from the Maryland Lottery for selling the winning ticket.
The sequence began with a $1 Pick 5 purchase in Bowie, continued when the Charlotte Hall player checked the evening numbers at home and concluded with the prize claim at Maryland Lottery headquarters. The winning combination was 15670, and the resulting prize was $50,000.
