Two Matching Maryland Pick 5 Tickets Deliver $100,000 Prize to D.C. Father

A retired Washington, D.C., man claimed $100,000 after his son bought two Maryland Pick 5 tickets with the same combination of his father’s favorite numbers.

A retired Washington, D.C., man claimed a combined $100,000 Maryland Pick 5 prize after his son bought two tickets carrying the same number combination and both tickets won the game’s top prize.

The father and son claimed the prize at Maryland Lottery headquarters in Baltimore on September 23, 2026. The claim involved two separate winning tickets, but both entries carried the identical combination: 15670.

The tickets were purchased at the 7-Eleven at 9500 Ruby Lockhart Boulevard in Bowie, Maryland. The son bought both entries, creating two opportunities for the same number combination to produce a top-prize result.

The winning combination was especially meaningful to the father because 15670 matched his favorite Pick 5 numbers. The connection gave the prize a personal significance before the value of the two tickets was fully counted.

Each of the two tickets was a top-prize Pick 5 winner. Together, the matching entries produced $100,000, making the purchase notable not only because the same combination appeared on both tickets, but because both tickets won at the highest prize level identified in the claim.

The father recognized the numbers after viewing Maryland Lottery’s evening results. Seeing 15670 in the results allowed him to connect the published combination with the two tickets his son had purchased at the Bowie store.

The result was not limited to one winning entry. Once the two tickets were identified as carrying the matching combination, both purchases were included in the total prize. The combined value reached $100,000 because each ticket was a top-prize winner.

The win also represented a new level of success for the father. He had won prizes before, but he had never previously won a Pick 5 top prize of this size. The two tickets therefore marked his first Pick 5 top prize at the $100,000 level described by the Maryland Lottery.

The family celebrated after the father discovered the winning results. That celebration followed the discovery that the son’s two purchases had both matched the winning combination and that the entries together represented the six-figure prize.

The sale generated a separate benefit for Prince George’s County. The county receives a $1,000 bonus connected with the retailer sale, calculated at $500 for each winning ticket. Because there were two winning entries from the Bowie retailer, the two ticket bonuses total $1,000.

The prize claim brought together the location of the purchase, the father’s preferred numbers and the son’s role in buying both tickets. The two entries did not carry different combinations; they each carried 15670, the number sequence that matched the father’s favorite Pick 5 numbers and produced the two top prizes.
