They find it difficult to sleep at all now.
An Aberdeen couple made their way to Lottery Headquarters in Baltimore to collect their $2.1 million prize after winning big on the “Multi-Match” game. The lucky ticket was purchased at Klein’s ShopRite on Riverside Parkway in Belcamp. With their newfound fortune, the couple may even have the opportunity to do some more traveling in the near future.
The lucky drawing produced the following winning numbers: 08-15-18-30-36-38.
“It’s the only game I play,” the husband reflected as he proudly claimed the seven-figure prize. “It presents the best opportunity to win big.”
The couple admitted that they couldn’t sleep once they realized that they were the lucky winners of the jackpot. It finally dawned on them at 4 a.m. the next morning that they had hit the jackpot and won a massive windfall.
After the drawing, the husband mentioned that although he had checked, he didn’t believe they had won. However, upon hearing that the winning ticket was sold at the Belcamp food store, the very place he had purchased a ticket that day, he decided to double-check.
“He woke me up and excitedly announced, ‘Guess what? I won $2.1 million!'” his wife recounted to officials. In that moment, she was fully awake, teasingly adding, “And then he went back to sleep, while I haven’t been able to sleep since!”
The unexpected turn of events has left us all stunned.
The husband, who began playing Maryland Lottery games when it first started, stated that he fully intends to continue playing. He still keeps the playslip he uses to purchase Multi-Match tickets at the ready and will persist in trying his luck.
The couple emphasized that their plans are still flexible, but they are considering using their winnings to explore new destinations or even buy a cozy home to escape the chilly Maryland winters.
