Maryland mom wins $100,000 Jackpot for third time in 5 years

For the third time in five years, a stay-at-home Maryland mom won her third lottery prize of at least $100,000, state officials confirmed.

The 30-year-old woman from Wicomico County in the state's southeastern corner won her latest prize playing a $100,000 Lucky scratch-off ticket, the Maryland Lottery reported.

She paid 30 bucks for the lotto ticket at Goose Creek #03 convenience store and gas station in Mardela Springs, a small town (population 347 during the most recent census) west of the Delaware border.

The winner, state lottery officials reported, chalked her run of luck up to one word: research.

“I knew that they sold a big ticket a few weeks ago,” she told lottery officials, according to a release on the website.

“I hoped that there was still some luck hanging around there."
