Maryland Woman Turns Lucky Number Into $250K Win

Maryland Woman Wins $250K After Trusting a “Lucky” Coincidence

When a Maryland woman saw the same number twice in one week, she didn’t brush it off — she turned it into a $250,000 win!

It all started when she spotted an airplane on the news with “29000” boldly displayed on its side. A few days later, while picking up a bag of cashews (which she rarely buys), she noticed the exact same code printed on the package. That’s when she knew something was up.

? Here’s what she did:

• Played the number 29000 on five identical Pick 5 tickets

• Bought them all for $1 each at a Mount Rainier gas station

• Each ticket hit for $50,000 — totaling $250,000 in winnings!

This isn’t her first lucky streak either — the day care worker previously scored an $80,000 win and used it to remodel her kitchen. She says this time, she’ll likely put her winnings toward more home improvements.

As for big celebrations? Not this time. “I can sit on my porch with my husband and talk, and it’s like taking a trip,” she shared.

Mount Rainier sits about 35 miles southwest of Baltimore — and now, it’s home to one very lucky repeat winner.
