July 21 (UPI) -- A Maryland woman who won a $100,000 lottery prize a few years ago scored another $50,000 prize -- and this time, she said she's keeping it a secret.
The Frederick woman told Maryland Lottery officials she bought three $50,000 CASH tickets from the Washingtonian Express convenience store in Frederick when she had only meant to buy two.
"This whole thing was an accident. I wanted to buy two $50,000 CASH tickets but hit the quantity button an extra time by accident," she recalled.
The third ticket turned out to be a $50,000 winner.
