The Week in Winners:
Powerball Player in Aberdeen Wins $500,000 Prize
Lottery paid more than $30.5 million in prizes for the week, with 26 tickets worth $10,000 or more
(Baltimore) — A Powerball ticket sold in Aberdeen and a FAST PLAY ticket sold in Gaithersburg delivered the two biggest Maryland Lottery prizes of the past week.
An Aberdeen Powerball player purchased a ticket on March 24 and made the fortunate choice to add the Double Play option. Double Play is a separate drawing that takes place after each Powerball drawing. Adding Double Play to a Powerball ticket costs an additional $1, taking the total price to $3, and makes the ticket eligible for both the Powerball drawing and the Double Play drawing. The player in Aberdeen won a $500,000 second-tier prize in the March 24 Double Play drawing, plus an additional $10 in prizes on the ticket, and claimed the prize Monday morning at Lottery Headquarters in Baltimore.
Meanwhile, a player in Gaithersburg won a $123,930 progressive jackpot on a FAST PLAY Big Money Doubler ticket. The $5 game’s progressive jackpot starts at $40,000 and increases with the sale of each ticket until a jackpot-winning ticket is sold.
Across Maryland, and across all games, the Lottery paid more than $30.5 million in prizes during the week of March 24-30, including 26 tickets worth $10,000 or more that were sold or redeemed in that seven-day span.
Winners are encouraged to sign the backs of tickets and keep winning tickets in a safe location. Tickets for draw games expire 182 days after the drawing. FAST PLAY tickets expire 182 days after purchase. The last date to claim for scratch-offs is posted on the scratch-offs page.
Winners of prizes larger than $25,000 must redeem tickets at the Maryland Lottery Customer Resource Center in Baltimore, which is open by appointment only. Prizes up to $25,000 can be claimed at the cashier window of any of the six casinos in Maryland. Prizes up to $5,000 can be claimed at any of more than 400 Expanded Cashing Authority Program (XCAP) locations. All Maryland Lottery retailers are authorized to redeem tickets worth up to and including $600. More information is available on the How to Claim page of the Lottery website.
