Million-Dollar Mistake: Truck Driver's Lucky Lottery Win

Elkton Truck Stop Lottery Win: Driver Almost Throws Away $1 Million Prize A truck driver's lucky break unfolded earlier this month at a TA Truck Stop in Elkton, Maryland. The driver, who wishes to remain anonymous, purchased lottery tickets during a brief stop for coffee and supplies. Initially believing the tickets were worthless, he discarded them in the trash. However, a change of heart led him to retrieve the tickets. Back in his truck, he scanned the tickets using a lottery app. The app displayed an error message: "See Lottery." Intrigued, he contacted the Maryland Lottery department. The results were astonishing: he had won \$1 million! "I couldn't believe it," the driver stated, according to a lottery official. "I almost threw away a million dollars!" While the driver plans to remain anonymous, he shared a potential use for his winnings: "Maybe a second home," he said. This story serves as a reminder to always double-check lottery tickets—you never know when a discarded ticket could hold a life-changing prize.
