Beginner's luck: Man wins huge lottery prize after trying game for first time
(FOX BUSINESS) -- First time was a charm for a Baltimore man who recently won a $50,000 lottery jackpot — the first time he played the game.
The man, identified only as "Alex," bought a $1 straight bet ticket for the Maryland Lottery's "Pick 5" game on March 14, for the midday drawing, the website for the Maryland Lottery said in a March 19 news article.
"I never played before and I couldn’t think of five random numbers, so I told the retailer to pick the numbers for me," "Alex" told the Maryland Lottery website.
