一名马里兰州妇女在大约三年内第三次中奖后正在庆祝。
这位来自蒙哥马利县的 61 岁球员最近在贝塞斯达的 Talbert's Ice & Beverage Service 买了两张 5 美元的幸运刮刮乐票。第一张彩票没有中奖，但第二张彩票让她获得了 50,000 美元的游戏最高奖金。
根据马里兰州彩票官员的说法，仅此一项就很了不起，但实际上这是她第三次在该商店赢得 50,000 美元的彩票奖金。 2018 年 8 月，她赢得了 $50,000 Bonus Cash。次年 10 月，她再次玩 Cash Craze Doubler。
这位退休的管家说，她第三次获胜感到震惊。 “我就是不相信，又来了！”她告诉彩票官员。
在最初的震惊平息后，幸运的获胜者打电话给她最好的朋友分享这个消息。 “当她告诉我时，我为她感到非常高兴，”在马里兰州彩票总部与她会合的朋友说。 “很难相信她又赢了 5 万美元。”
当然，他们知道中奖是多么罕见——更不用说中了三次了。 “人们每天都在玩，但没有赢，”获胜者说。 “我赢了三场真是太神奇了。”
她告诉彩票官员，她计划将这笔钱用于一些急需的家庭装修。
This Maryland woman just claimed her third $50,000 lottery prize
(CNN)A Maryland woman is celebrating after winning the lottery for a third time in about three years.
The 61-year-old player from Montgomery County recently bought two $5 Lucky scratch-off tickets at Talbert's Ice & Beverage Service in Bethesda. The first ticket didn't hit, but the second landed her the game's top prize of $50,000.
That alone would be amazing, but it's actually the third time she's won a $50,000 lottery prize at that store, according to Maryland Lottery officials. In August of 2018, she won playing $50,000 Bonus Cash. The following October, she did it again playing Cash Craze Doubler.
The retired housekeeper said she was shocked to win for a third time. "I just didn't believe it, again!" she told lottery officials.
After the initial shock subsided, the lucky winner called her best friend to share the news. "When she told me, I was so happy for her," said the friend, who joined her at Maryland Lottery headquarters. "It was hard to believe that she won $50,000 again."
Of course, they know how rare it is for anyone to win the lottery — let alone three times. "People play every day and not win," the winner said. "It's amazing that I won three times."
She plans to use the money for some much-needed home improvements, she told lottery officials.
