A stroke of luck landed a Powerball player in Baltimore a hefty $500,000 prize after Monday night's Powerball Double Play drawing, where their ticket matched five numbers. The ticket was sold at Bernie's Liquors, situated at 1414 Martin Boulevard, as FOX Baltimore reported.
Not being strangers to good fortune, this latest winner marks the third time in just under a week that Maryland has seen a $500,000 Double Play win. The other winners, as noted by NottinghamMD, were tickets bought at Landover Hills Exxon in Landover and A-1 Laundromat in Riverdale, both securing their victories in the August 20 drawing.
Meanwhile, the Powerball jackpot continues its ascent to astronomical heights, now valued at an estimated $815 million annuity, or a $367.9 million cash option for Wednesday's drawing. Since no one hit the jackpot in Monday's primary draw, anticipation is building with the prospects of such a life-changing sum at stake. As recorded by FOX Baltimore, the grand prize was last found a winner on May 31 with a $204.5 million jackpot.
For the fortune-seekers, there's a time window of 182 days from the drawing date to claim the prizes at the Maryland Lottery Headquarters, located in Baltimore.
