Maryland Man Wins $1 Million After Pizza Disappointment


A man from Baltimore County, Maryland, won $1 million from a scratch-off ticket after being disappointed by a small pizza he bought for dinner. The man was from Gwynn Oak, Maryland.

The man bought a $20 scratch-off ticket from the Maryland Lottery's Extreme Green game and won $1 million. The man bought three tickets for the Maryland Lottery’s Extreme Green scratch-off game. Each Extreme Green ticket costs $20 and offers players 34 chances to win a prize between $20 and $1m.

The man said that it would be great to be debt-free with the lottery prize. The couple added that they also plan to start their own business.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
