Maryland Lottery Paid Over $31M in Prizes Last Week

The week that ended May 19 has been a busy one for Maryland Lottery and Gaming. 

While the biggest prize recorded during the week was a $250,000 scratch-off ticket bought by a player in Frederick, an unusual turn of events led to 17 separate tickets each worth $50,000 being sold or redeemed during the same week. 

Over $31 Million Paid in a Week

In total, the Lottery paid over $31 million in prizes during the same period.

The list included 44 tickets each worth at least $10,000 sold or claimed during the week. 

Players who won prizes of over $25,000 are expected to claim their tickets at the Maryland Lottery Claims Center located in Baltimore, after making a previous appointment. 

For prizes of up to $5,000, players can visit any of 400+ locations of the Expanded Cashing Authority Program (XCAP). 

All tickets of up to $600 can be redeemed at any of Maryland Lottery’s retailers.
