Angel Cornier of Harford County secretly celebrates his $100,000 top-prize Ravens X5 win.
Scores big win with Ravens X5 scratch-off
All that Angel Cornier and his girlfriend had in mind when they visited the Royal Farms store in Aberdeen over the weekend was buying chicken. Unbeknownst to them, however, a side order of Lottery luck was added to their lunch request.
“While we were waiting for the chicken, I wandered over to the Lottery vending machine,” the 45-year-old Harford County resident told Lottery officials. “I had $5 left over after paying and wanted to get a scratch-off ticket.” The first several $5 options among the machine’s selection were sold out. “The first ticket they had available was the Ravens X5 game, so that’s the one I picked.”
Back at home, after eating their meal, the couple turned to the $5 Ravens X5 scratch-off. Angel said he asked his girlfriend to do the scratching. “She looked hard at it for a minute or two and said, ‘You are not going to believe this.’ ”
The Aberdeen father plans to use his winnings as part of a down payment for a house. “This money will help settle us into a new home one day soon, which will be great for my kids. I’m very grateful.”
Royal Farms #271 at 3710 Churchville Road in Aberdeen helped Angel and his family score their $100,000 top-prize win – as well as some tasty chicken. In recognition, the Lottery will reward management there with a $1,000 bonus for selling a top-prize winning scratch-off.
