Someone who stopped into a Nottingham 7‑Eleven for a Powerball ticket just scored a $50,000 payday, and they may not even know it yet, according to Maryland lottery officials.
The winning ticket matched four white balls plus the Powerball in Wednesday's drawing. It was sold at the 7‑Eleven on East Joppa Road, and as of now, the winner has not come forward. Lottery officials are urging anyone who thinks they might be the lucky player to sign the back of their ticket and double-check their numbers.
According to the Maryland Lottery for the May 20 drawing, the winning numbers were 10, 28, 30, 46, and 57, with Powerball 25. One Maryland ticket hit the combination of four white balls plus the Powerball to land the third‑tier $50,000 prize. Nationwide, the drawing produced 329,180 winners, including 8,265 in Maryland. That in‑state tally featured 23 players who picked up $100 prizes across two prize tiers, and thousands more Maryland players walked away with smaller prizes ranging from $4 to $7 in the same drawing.
The third‑tier ticket was sold at the 7‑Eleven at 4139 East Joppa Road in Nottingham, as reported by the Nottingham‑Perry Hall Daily Voice, which notes that lottery officials have not yet identified the buyer. The outlet also passed along the lottery's reminder to "sign the back" of a winning ticket to protect ownership until the prize is officially claimed. The sale tags the win to Baltimore County's Nottingham neighborhood.
How To Claim
Per the Maryland Lottery page on claiming prizes, draw‑game tickets must be redeemed within 182 days of the drawing. Prizes larger than $25,000 must be claimed at the Maryland Lottery Customer Resource Center in Baltimore by appointment. The headquarters is listed at 1800 Washington Boulevard, Suite 330, and winners can either schedule a claims appointment or submit claims by mail. The Lottery advises allowing at least 30 business days to process prizes over $25,000. The site also spells out ID and proof‑of‑Social‑Security requirements, along with the tax‑withholding rules that apply to larger prizes.
What This Means Locally
For the Nottingham 7‑Eleven and nearby neighbors, a win this size is the kind of news that sparks a quick wave of curiosity and extra chatter at the counter, even while the winner stays anonymous. If you think that ticket in your wallet or tucked on the fridge might be the one, sign it, keep it somewhere safe, and contact the Lottery for next steps.
