**MARYLAND MAN WINS BIG AFTER LICENSE PLATE SEES HIM LUCKY**
In a bizarre incident that has left lottery officials scratching their heads and regular folks scratching their wallets, a Maryland man has won a whopping $200,000 prize after getting a ridiculously lucky idea from a license plate.
According to sources, 32-year-old Dave Wilson was driving to the grocery store when he spotted a license plate that read “LCKYGUY1”. Inspired by the plate’s apparent promise of good fortune, Wilson decided to rush home and buy a Maryland Lottery Pick 5 ticket.
“I just felt like it was fate,” Wilson said in an interview, still beaming with excitement. “I mean, who wouldn’t trust a license plate that basically says ‘you’re going to win big’?”
Wilson hastily scribbled down his numbers, picked up a ticket, and… well, you can probably guess what happened next.
The next day, Wilson checked his ticket and was shocked – SHOCKED! – to discover that he had matched all five numbers. He leapt into the air, did a little jig, and called his mom.
“I screamed so loud my neighbors thought I was being murdered,” Wilson recalled.
The prize? A cool $200,000.
When asked what he plans to do with the windfall, Wilson said he’s going to buy a giant statue of a four-leaf clover, a year’s supply of lottery tickets, and a “LCKYGUY1” license plate for his own car.
“I figure, why not?” he said with a grin. “You only live once, right?”
The Maryland Lottery has since reported a surge in ticket sales, with many players apparently seeking to emulate Wilson’s luck.
As for Wilson, he’s just basking in the glow of his newfound fortune. “I’m living my best life,” he said, still chuckling. “And I’m never driving without a license plate that says ‘I’m a winner’ again!”
