A Maryland woman has had a whole lotto luck.
For the third time, a stay-at-home mom in a small town in Wicomico County, Md., last week won her third six-figure scratch-off prize in five years.
As CEO of her home, the 30-year-old woman told Maryland Lottery officials that she and her husband have a method.
“My husband and I do the work on your website,” she said, according to a press release. “We figure out which scratch-off games have been on sale for a long time but still have a lot of big-money prizes.”

Case in point: The $30 instant ticket “$100,000 Lucky” game had debuted last September, but more than 40 top prizes had never been snagged. She grabbed a ticket at a convenience store, and voila.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw how much I’d won,” the Eastern Shore woman told lottery officials. “I immediately called my husband and said, ‘We did it again.’ “

She doesn’t mean she wasn’t shocked, though.
“This is as crazy as it was the other times,” she said. “It’s unbelievable!”
Luck and superstition played a role in her choice of retailer, as well, the woman confessed.
“I knew that they sold a big ticket a few weeks ago,” she said. “I hoped that there was still some luck hanging around there.”
That luck will be stashed in the bank for her children, she said.
“We know how lucky we are,” the woman told lottery officials. “This money, as was the case with our other big wins, will be there for our children. We’re taking good care of it.”
