An Anne Arundel man took his wise wife’s advice — and it led to a FAST PLAY ticket worth a whopping $100,000, lottery officials say.
The man’s wife, who works overseas, told her husband during their daily talk about a dream she’d had the night before.
“She told me that she’d seen us winning a lot of money and that it was from the lottery,” the man told officials.
Asked to go pick up a ticket, he eagerly complied with his wife’s request and grabbed one at 7-Eleven at 8930 Fort Smallwood Road in Pasadena — but his selection took a bit of thought.
“It wasn’t a Powerball or Mega Millions night, those are the games I first thought to play,” the husband said. “But then, I saw the Mega Multiplier ticket.”
The $10 FAST PLAY ticket debuted last April. The man won the fourth top prize in the game, leaving 26 remaining $100,000 winners.
“My legs started shaking when I saw the matching numbers and realized how much I’d won,” the Glen Burnie man said.
“I thought about keeping it from my wife until she returns next week, but I couldn’t. Our phone call that night was a very happy one.”
