2Baltimore man lands $30K Racetrax win just ahead of retirement

BALTIMORE, MD — A Baltimore man preparing to retire in January secured a $30,226 boost to his finances this week after hitting big on the Maryland Lottery’s Racetrax game, just months before ending his career.

The winning ticket was purchased Wednesday at the Marriottsville Crown gas station on Liberty Road in Randallstown. The prize, claimed Thursday at Maryland Lottery headquarters, comes as the longtime player finalizes plans for his last day on the job set for January 15.

While already financially prepared, the man said the win helps ensure a smooth transition into retirement. He is planning to take a Caribbean cruise in November as a preview of the travel-filled lifestyle he expects to enjoy in his post-work years.
