**MARYLAND MAN WINS BIG: Local Resident’s Life Changed Forever After Winning $125,000 in Lottery…But He Only Spent $3!**
In a stunning turn of events, 32-year-old Dave Jenkins of Annapolis, Maryland, has won a whopping $125,000 in the Maryland Lottery’s latest drawing. But what’s even more astonishing is that he only spent a grand total of $3 to buy the three winning tickets.
“I was just messing around with my wife, Sarah, and our pet parrot, Polly,” said Jenkins in an exclusive interview. “I said, ‘Hey, why not? I might as well buy a few tickets and live the dream!’ And then I just walked out the door and bought three tickets on a whim. I didn’t even bother to check the numbers until the next day.”
The next day, Jenkins was sipping his morning coffee when he decided to check his tickets. And that’s when his life changed forever.
“I started screaming like a banshee and doing the chicken dance in my living room,” said Jenkins. “My wife thought I had finally lost it, but then she saw the look on my face and she just started crying. It was a real ‘This is your life’ moment!”
According to sources close to the lottery, Jenkins’ winning tickets were purchased at a local 7-Eleven convenience store, where the clerk reportedly shouted, “You’re a millionaire…or at least, you’re rich-ish!”
As news of the win spread like wildfire, friends and family members began to gather at Jenkins’ residence, all clamoring for a piece of the action.
“I mean, I’m happy for the guy, but I’m still waiting for him to pay me back that $20 I lent him last week,” said neighbor, Bob Smith.
When asked about his plans for the windfall, Jenkins remained characteristically humble.
“Well, first things first, I’m going to buy a yacht…or at least, a really nice paddleboat,” he said with a chuckle. “And then I’m going to take my wife on a dream vacation to…Tuscany! Or maybe just to the Shore. You know, somewhere with a nice view and a decent Wi-Fi signal.”
The Maryland Lottery Commission has confirmed that Jenkins’ win is one of the largest in state history, and officials are urging everyone to play responsibly…but also to maybe, you know, buy a few tickets. You never know!
