Red-light scratch-off nets Maryland man $100,000 prize
A Maryland man, while stopped at a traffic light outside a 7-Eleven, bought a $10 scratch-off (50X the Cash) and scratched it in his car. A 10X multiplier turned a $10,000 prize into $100,000, verified by the Maryland Lottery. He plans to use the money for household expenses and a family vacation, and kept the win private from others. The piece also notes a separate large New Jersey lottery win by Michael Weirsky, illustrating how fortunes can change quickly.
