Officials say two other stores in the state also sold million dollar tickets.
The identify of the Frederick winner is still unknown but the general manager at the Wawa says a woman came in Thursday morning to check her ticket.
"She was in here with what appeared to be a relative most likely her mother she was just kind of stunned dazed didn't have a whole lot to say," said Derek Molney, General Manager of the Frederick Wawa. "She just wanted to check her ticket and we obviously had a whole lot of people checking tickets this morning, so I kind of said jokingly, 'is it the big one,' and she said, 'I think so, I think I got all five numbers.' She was kind of excited, from her facial expressions she didn't have a whole lot to say. She was pretty much in awe," Molney said.
The other million dollar tickets were sold in Capitol Heights and Bladensburg.
Maryland also had 24 $50,000 and a $100,000 after last night's drawing.
