Beginner's luck brings Maryland woman $50,000 lottery prize

Sept. 10 (UPI) -- A Maryland woman experienced some beginner's luck when her first Fast Play lottery ticket turned out to be a $50,000 winner.

The Baltimore woman told Maryland Lottery officials she was at Redner's Warehouse Markets on Eastern Avenue in Baltimore when she decided to spend a few extra dollars in her pocket on a $10 Fast Play Big Win ticket.

The woman said she wasn't sure how to read the ticket, so she asked another customer to take a look and discovered it was a $50,000 winner.

The winner said she hasn't yet made any plans for her prize money.
