A fortunate resident from Calvert County wins $100,000 recently

After starting his day by helping a relative move a boat to winter storage, a hungry Calvert County resident stopped at a grocery store to buy scratch-offs to play while he waited at a nearby sub shop for his lunch order.

As he waited, the man who spent the day helping others got a helping hand from Lady Luck.

He won $10 on one of the four $5 scratch-offs he had purchased and then began playing his two $10 Blizzard Bucks holiday instant tickets.

When he uncovered an auto win symbol on one of the games, he slowly began revealing the prize.

“I saw a 1, I saw zero and then I said, ‘$10,’” he recalled. He continued revealing the prize amount, one number at a time, while waiting for his sandwich.
