A Maryland man who saw the same address on TV twice ended up using the number combination to play the lottery and won $50,000.

The 82-year-old Hyattsville man told Maryland Lottery officials the Pick 5 ticket he bought for the Sept. 1 drawing at AJ Liquors in Brentwood bore a set of numbers from an unusual source.

"I was watching a movie and the number 2103 was shown as an address," the player recalled.

"Then, the very next program showed that same number as an address." The man used the number to buy a Pick 4 ticket, and added an extra 1 to the end to buy a Pick 5 ticket.

He said it was days after the drawing before he discovered he had won $50,000 from Pick 5.
