A Maryland man won a $325,000 lottery jackpot using a set of numbers he copied from a friend’s home address.
The 57-year-old Upper Marlboro man told Maryland Lottery officials that he and a friend had been walking days before, so he knew his acquaintance’s home number, which was 10911. .
“I knew I had to play those numbers,” the player said, according to the UPI information portal.
The man bought six $1 tickets and one $0.50 ticket for the Pick 5 drawing on August 27, using the numbers 1-0-9-1-1.
“I checked the numbers on my phone and said, ‘Wait a minute,’ when I saw that I matched the number. I was surprised that it actually came out,” she said.
The man earned a total of $325,000, but his prize was reduced to $275k by giving one of his $50k tickets to his friend.
“I thought it was a joke at first. And then he gave me one of the tickets to cash it for myself,” the friend said.
The winners said their plans for their prizes include paying bills, taking vacations and saving the rest of the money.
