1Coffee run and girlfriend’s call land DC man $50K Holiday Raffle prize

Rockville, MD – A Washington, DC maintenance worker on his morning coffee run picked up more than just caffeine after a nudge from his girlfriend led him to a $50,000 Holiday Raffle win.

The man, who asked to go by the alias “I’ll Be Back” — quoting Arnold Schwarzenegger’s famous line — claimed the first Early Bird prize in Maryland Lottery’s new Holiday Raffle game after buying the $20 ticket during a routine stop at the 7-Eleven on Gaither Road in Rockville.

The winning moment began on November 13 when his girlfriend reminded him over the phone to grab a Holiday Raffle ticket along with his daily coffee. The couple later checked the raffle numbers drawn on November 24 and realized the ticket was a $50,000 winner.
