A woman who lives in suburban Cleveland Ohio was on vacation with her husband in Ocean City Maryland in July when a rainy day gave her the idea of taking a chance to win some money playing a lottery scratch off game at a 7 Eleven store in Ocean City.
Since the store had a Lottery Week promotion, the couple who did not want to be identified for privacy reasons were eligible to play a Pick 5 drawing.
The couple found out on the July 19 drawing that she won $50,000. The lottery winner and her husband found out that they won the pick 5 drawing when they were on the road returning to Ohio at a gas station.
The woman admitted that winning the lottery prize was a good thing to make up for a below average vacation.
The lottery winner who is 58 years old intends to use her lottery winnings to make some home improvements.

What a lucky break! I'm glad the money will make up for a not-so-good vacation.

I am in agreement with you that the money won by the couple will make up for the disappointment of staying an extra day in Maryland.

You are right since the odds of winning a huge prize in the power ball games are against all of us.
