BALTIMORE, MD — Stephen Sterner, a Baltimore resident, became the first $50,000 winner on the newly released Millionaire’s Club scratch-off ticket, just one week after its launch.
Stephen decided to try his luck with the $20 Millionaire’s Club ticket while visiting Pantry One Food Mart at 5314 East Drive in Halethorpe. He scratched the ticket in the store and was stunned when he matched the number 24 to a $50,000 prize. Initially incredulous, Stephen had to double-check his ticket several times before sharing the exciting news with the store clerk and his family. He then scheduled an appointment to claim his prize.
A maintenance worker at a local gym, Stephen plans to use some of his winnings to purchase a new bed, but remains undecided about the rest of his prize money.
The Millionaire’s Club instant ticket was launched on July 22, and all five of the $1 million top prizes remain available, along with five more $50,000 prizes.
