2Havre de Grace man claims $500K Maryland Lottery scratch-off prize

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — A longtime scratch-off player from Havre de Grace has officially collected a $500,000 prize from the Maryland Lottery, a win he described as a “game changer” as he and his wife now look forward to full retirement.

The man, who claimed his winnings on November 26 at Lottery headquarters in Baltimore, scored the half-million-dollar prize on the $20 Gifts of Green scratch-off ticket. The win comes just one month after he claimed $20,000 from a separate Ravens-themed scratch-off.

While the couple has been semi-retired, they say this latest win opens the door to stepping away from work entirely. Still, the winner noted that his wife insists they’ll “still need something to do.”
