July 1 (UPI) -- A Maryland man said his "last second" decision to buy a ticket for that evening's Powerball drawing led to his winning a $50,000 prize.
The Carroll County man told Maryland Lottery officials he was filling up his gas tank on June 15 when the lottery popped into his mind.
"As I was waiting for the tank to fill, I remembered that it was a Powerball night -- and Powerball is the game I play the most," he said.
The man said he initially talked himself out of buying a ticket at the Sykesville Convenience Store on Sandosky Road.
