Maryland Lottery Player Almost Throws Out Her Fiance’s $10,000-Winning Ticket
Rico Abrew’s fiance was cleaning out his car recently, when she asked him if the Maryland Lottery scratch off ticket sitting on the front seat was a winner.
She had no idea the ticket she was about to throw away was worth $10,000. “I didn’t think we had a winning ticket,” she said. “I had already put it in the trash bag.”
Rico, who plays scratch-offs a few times a week, said his fiancé got him hooked. He bought his first “Fill’er Up” ticket a few days before and then beginner’s luck kicked in, as he scratched-off the ticket’s last remaining top-prize.
Rico, 22, plans to use his winnings toward their upcoming trip to Las Vegas, where he hopes his lucky streak will continue.
