A woman from Woodlawn in Maryland has won a huge $50,000 Powerball jackpot all thanks to a set of regular numbers which include family birthdays.The retired General Motors employee has been buying tickets for both Mega Millions and Powerball drawings ever since the Maryland Lottery began selling them, and she’s used the very same numbers every time as well. “Even back when Mega Millions was called ‘The Big Game’ and Powerball wasn’t even here yet, I played them,” the lucky woman explained. Earlier this year a Maryland man who also played jackpot games every week won a $50,000 prize on the Powerball lottery.The Maryland winner said that she has always had faith in her lucky numbers and know that somebody she would win a big prize. That day turned out to be July 18^th, and her big prize was a $50,000 Powerball win. Over the years, her lucky numbers have some her small prizes, but never anything as large as this most recent windfall.

Otherwise, the rest of the money will be set aside for her family, and she won’t stop playing lottery games.“I’m very grateful for this win,” she said. “I’ll keep playing just in case there’s more luck in these numbers, maybe even the jackpot kind of luck.” A man from Kansas who won $742,354 on the Super Kansas Cash lottery said that he wouldn’t stop playing the lottery.Make sure you give yourself a chance of winning by playing now with Lottery24!
