$50K Lottery Ticket Sold By Bethesda Store To Two-Time Winner

BETHESDA, MD — A Maryland man who won $50,000 in a lottery game in 2019 has struck gold again — this time in Bethesda.

The anonymous player from Prince George's County purchased the winning Bonus Match 5 ticket at Westlake Wine & Beer on Autopark Avenue. His latest $50,000 win was similar to his November 2019 win. Both times, the 54-year-old home services contractor was in a rush to pick up his tickets, Maryland lottery officials said in a press release.

In 2019, the winner used his prize to pay a few bills and put a down payment on a new truck. The rest was put into a savings account, lottery officials said.

This time around, he plans to boost his savings and buy new technological equipment for family members taking classes online during the pandemic.

"Winning this again is so big and beautiful. It feels so good," he said.
