**BREAKING: MARYLAND WOMAN’S DARING DEVIATION FROM DAILY ROUTINE LEADS TO JACKPOT WINDFALL**

In a stunning turn of events, a Maryland woman’s bold decision to take a different route to work has paid off in a big way – literally! 32-year-old Karen Jenkins of Annapolis, MD, is $50,000 richer after her daily detour led her to purchase a winning lottery ticket.

According to sources close to the lucky winner, Karen had grown tired of her monotonous morning commute and decided to shake things up by taking a scenic route to the office. Little did she know, this change of pace would alter her life forever.

“I was feeling stuck in a rut, so I decided to take a different way to work,” said Karen in an interview. “I usually take the highway, but that day I took the back roads. I’m not even kidding, I almost didn’t buy the ticket if I hadn’t gotten lost in a roundabout!”

Karen’s newfound route led her to a local convenience store, where she picked up a lottery ticket on a whim. The ticket was for the popular Maryland Lottery game, “Cash for Life.” And, as fate would have it, Karen’s ticket matched all five numbers, securing her spot as a $50,000 prize winner!

“I couldn’t believe my eyes!” exclaimed Karen. “I checked my ticket like five times, thinking it was just a weird glitch. But nope, I’m a real-life lottery winner!”

When asked what she plans to do with her winnings, Karen said, “Well, first things first – I’m buying a GPS device so I never get lost again! And then, I’ll probably treat myself to a nice dinner and maybe even take a real vacation.”

The Maryland Lottery Commission has confirmed that Karen’s win is one of the largest in the state’s history, and officials are urging residents to take a chance and deviate from their daily routines – you never know when it might lead to a life-changing windfall!

In related news, local traffic patterns have seen a significant shift, as commuters are now intentionally taking “the Karen route” in hopes of stumbling upon their own luck. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story!
