Maryland, Ohio Women Win Six-Figure Lottery Jackpots

A woman from Atwater, Ohio, won a $300,000 top prize on a Feeling Lucky scratch-off ticket purchased at a Walmart Supercenter, receiving $216,000 after taxes. In Maryland, a Hagerstown woman claimed a $870,000 Multi-Match jackpot, opting for a $510,000 cash payout after buying the winning ticket with $4 in leftover grocery change at Martins supermarket. She discovered her win nearly two months later via a news alert about the winning ticket sold at Martins, confirmed it using the Lottery app, and officially claimed the prize at Maryland Lottery headquarters. The Hagerstown winner, a school employee, plans to invest her winnings, possibly buying a new home, and intends to continue playing the lottery. Martins grocery store received a $1,000 bonus for selling the winning ticket. Both stories highlight the role of chance and modest spending leading to life-changing lottery wins.
