A Columbia Maryland woman had some good luck by using a very odd way of winning $25,000 dollars playing the Pick 5 Game on Valentine's Day on a 50 cent ticket since the Pick 5 game is new at the Maryland Lottery. The lucky winner did not reveal her name since she wants to maintain her privacy after she involved in an auto accident the same day which caused her auto to be towed away for repairs even though she was not injured in the accident. The lottery ticket was purchased at a Giant store in Ellicott City. The lucky lottery winner who is a retiree was very pleased to find out on that evening when the numbers were drawn on television that Valentine's Day evening that she won $25,000 dollars. The lottery winner will be using her winnings to make a down payment to buy a new auto to replace the auto that was damaged in the auto accident earlier that day. It is very odd for anyone to win a huge lottery prize of five numbers by playing the license plate of an auto.

She could have been maintaining that number to place her bet on lotto. She got lucky, is it the damaged auto license?

The numbers were from the auto license that was damaged in the accident.

Must have been nice to find out she won a lottery after getting into a car accident earlier that day.

It made her a happier person that she did win a lottery prize after her auto was towed to a garage for repairs.

What a nice Valentine's Day present. It's too bad that she was in an accident and has to use her winnings to buy a new car.

Wow, what an odd coincidence with the numbers and accident. It's like be careful what you wish for but at least she wasn't hurt.

You are right since an auto can be replaced but not a life.

You are right since some good came out of a bad situation in the auto accident.
