July 9 (UPI) — A Maryland mother won a $50,030 prize from a Bonus Match 5 lottery ticket she received as a birthday gift from her son.

The Anne Arundel County woman’s son told Maryland Lottery officials he used her preferred lottery numbers when he bought tickets for Bonus Match 5, Pick 3 and Pick 4 games from the Giant store in Glen Burnie in May.

He checked the tickets the next day and discovered the Bonus Match 5 ticket had matched all five numbers, earning a $50,000 prize, plus an additional $30 for matching three numbers on two other lins.

“I sat there looking at that ticket and knew right away I was going to surprise her on her birthday in June,” the son said.

He ended up doing just that, and tucked a note inside her birthday card informing her of her lottery windfall.

“I tried to keep calm, because of health reasons, but I was so excited,” the mother said. “I didn’t want to do cartwheels and stuff.”

The winner said her prize money will allow her to buy a new car.
