A truck driver from St. Mary's County, Maryland, just hit the jackpot by winning $50,000 from a scratch-off lottery ticket.

The scoop: This lucky win came from the Bonus Bingo X20 2nd Edition game, a new scratch-off that started just two weeks ago.

• The trucker, who remains anonymous, enjoys playing Maryland Lottery games, especially those with bingo and crossword themes.
• He bought the winning ticket at a Food Lion in Leonardtown.

How it happened: After completing his driving shift, he scratched multiple tickets at home. When he noticed several matches, he scanned the ticket with his phone and confirmed the $50,000 win.

• "I was shocked, and I was very happy," he shared about discovering the win.

The winnings: He plans to use his prize money to support his daughter, ensuring it goes to good use outside the cab of his truck — a move that emphasizes the family's bond and support network, reported The Southern Maryland Chronicle.

Looking forward: The Bonus Bingo X20 game still has many unclaimed prizes, giving players more chances to win big.

Thanks to his good fortune, this truck driver and his family can look forward to a brighter future. The prize adds to the growing trend of lottery successes in Southern Maryland.
