BREAKING: MARYLAND MAN TURNS $2 TICKET INTO $71,490 WIND FALL… AND LIVES TO TELL THE TALE!
In a stunning display of luck, mathematical genius, and probably a hint of wizardry, a Maryland resident has won a whopping $39,969 from the Racetrax virtual horse racing game – and we’re not even kidding, this is the same guy who just 2 short months ago raked in a cool $31,521 from the same exact game!
According to sources close to the winner (okay, we made that up, but just go with it), the lucky ticket purchaser, whose name has not been released but is rumored to be “Lucky” Larry, purchased his winning ticket at a local convenience store, probably while grabbing a Slim Jim and a lottery ticket, because that’s just how you win the jackpot, folks!
When asked for comment, “Lucky” Larry stated, “I’m not sure what’s more surprising, winning twice or that I remembered to buy a ticket… I mean, I’m pretty sure my wife is just going to assume I spent the money on video games and not actually used it for something practical.”
The two wins bring Larry’s total Racetrax haul to a staggering $71,490 – a sum that will undoubtedly change his life, or at the very least, fund his fantasy football league for the next 10 years.
When reached for comment, a Maryland Lottery spokesperson said, “We’re thrilled for the winner and would like to remind players that you too can win big with Racetrax… or not. But hey, at least you’ll have a good story to tell, right?”
Larry’s next move? “I’m going to buy a yacht… or at least a really nice paddle boat. And maybe treat the family to a nice dinner… or a few.”
Stay tuned for further updates on Larry’s spending habits and hopefully, his next big win!
