Two Maryland Pick 5 Tickets Turn One Drawing Into $100,000 Win
Two straight $1 Pick 5 tickets bought at an Landover retailer each won $50,000 in Maryland’s August 28, 2026 evening drawing.
A Bowie player turned one Maryland Pick 5 drawing into two separate $50,000 prizes, winning a total of $100,000 after the same numbers appeared on two tickets in the August 28, 2026 evening drawing.
The winning numbers came out straight, and each of the two Pick 5 tickets matched the result for a $50,000 prize. Together, the tickets produced $100,000 in winnings from the single drawing.
The player purchased both winning tickets at Ardwick Liquors in Landover while running errands with her sister. The retailer is located at 8307 Ardwick-Ardmore Road in Landover, Maryland.
Each winning play was a straight $1 Pick 5 ticket. The player bought two of those tickets using the same numbers, creating the possibility of collecting the prize twice if the numbers matched the drawing.
The purchase also included two Pick 3 tickets and two Pick 4 tickets. The two Pick 5 tickets were the plays that produced the major win.
The player checked the drawing results on her phone after the evening drawing had taken place. That check showed that both Pick 5 tickets were winners, rather than revealing a prize on only one of the two plays.

The win involved a woman from Prince George’s County who lives in Bowie, while the tickets were purchased in nearby Landover. The two locations are part of the same winning story: the player made the purchase during an errand trip, then discovered after the drawing that both tickets had matched.
The player later claimed the $100,000 prize at Maryland Lottery headquarters in Baltimore. The claim took place on September 14, 2026, more than two weeks after the August 28 drawing.
The winnings already had specific uses planned. The player intended to put part of the $100,000 toward paying bills and making repairs to her home.
Ardwick Liquors also received money connected to the two winning tickets. The retailer received a $500 bonus for each ticket, producing a total bonus of $1,000.
That retailer payment reflected the fact that two separate Pick 5 tickets purchased at the store won $50,000 apiece. The player’s $100,000 prize and the retailer’s $1,000 total bonus both stemmed from the same August 28 evening drawing.
