Lightning struck twice for Maryland Lottery players this week, with two unique scratch-off tickets each paying $100,000. One winner, a Baltimore City resident, won big on THE BIG SPIN, and another player won the same six-figure reward on a ticket sold in Hyattsville. Both wins were listed in the Maryland Lottery’s weekly winners roundup for March 30 through April 5. The winners’ names were not released, as is customary for the lottery.
The Baltimore winner purchased their lucky “Big Spin” ticket at the Sunoco on 750 East 25th Street. The Hyattsville winnings came from a Red 5’s Doubler ticket purchased at the New Carrollton Shell, 8309 Annapolis Road. The Lottery’s weekly winners report includes that retailer information, which is also reflected in local coverage of the news, according to WBFF.
On March 20, 2026, THE BIG SPIN, a $5 scratch-off, made its debut. It combines instant-win action with a game-show twist. Players can win up to $50,000 instantly by purchasing the ticket, or they can unlock a digital reveal that qualifies them for a trip to lottery headquarters to spin “The Big Spin Wheel.” That wheel carries cash prizes ranging from $50,000 to $250,000. According to the Maryland Lottery, anyone who discovers a Big Spin sign must schedule an appointment at Lottery headquarters to spin the wheel and claim the associated prize.
The two $100,000 jackpots were part of a far larger wave of victories. The Maryland Lottery paid out approximately $32.2 million in prizes from March 30 to April 5, including 52 tickets worth $10,000 or more. The weekly report also highlighted numerous six-figure scratch-off and KENO wins, as well as a slew of $50,000 and $10,000 prizes claimed at merchants around the state. Those totals and high-dollar winners were highlighted in the lottery’s roundup and covered by Fox Baltimore.
The Maryland Lottery provides clear criteria for claiming if you are one of the lucky winners this week. Prizes over $25,000 must be redeemed by appointment at the Maryland Lottery Customer Resource Center in Baltimore. Wins of up to $25,000 can be cashed at casino cashier windows, while smaller sums are accepted at lottery merchants and expanded cashing authority sites. Officials also emphasize one simple step that might prevent a lot of heartache: sign the back of your ticket and save it somewhere safe before beginning the claim procedure. The weekly winners post and claim instructions on the Maryland Lottery website include all of the details, including deadlines and claim alternatives.
Anyone who recently purchased a scratch-off is invited to scan their tickets or visit the lottery’s scratch-off game pages to discover whether top prizes are still available. Players with questions about how to claim or about responsible gaming resources should contact Maryland Lottery customer care for assistance.
