$1 Million Lotto Ticket Remains Unclaimed In Md.

WOODSTOCK, Md. (WJZ) -- Lottery players dream of hitting all the number during a big rollover week, but what you had the ticket, but one number was missing.

Mike Schuh has the story from Howard County.

There are a lot of essentials here at Woodstock Weis Market. Things like bananas, salad and more.

Although it may not be essential, they have lotto tickets too.

One lucky player bought a lotto ticket that's now worth much more.

Getting five of the six numbers correct -- winning a $1 million.

Schuh: So you play the lottery?

Sharon Brown: Every week

Schuh: So you're a regular?

Brown: Yeah.

Schuh: So in your mind what is a number that sounds good to you?

Brown: $5 million

John Demaggio is scraping for gold or rather --- $50,000. So for him a million is fine.

But John didn't win a million. He did pick up $10 though -- which, really, maybe is for the better.

As a supermarket philosopher Nellie Arrington sums it up.

"So I think something I've learned over the years is that people who've won really, really big is they haven't bought happiness with it,' Arrington said.

One other person in Georgia also won a million dollars. The $50 million drawing is this Wednesday.
