Sept. 14 (UPI) — A Maryland man won a $580,000 prize from a lottery ticket he only purchased because of a clerk’s mistake.

The Upper Marlboro man shared with Maryland Lottery officials that he initially planned to buy Cash4Life tickets but ended up receiving a Multi-Match ticket due to the attendant’s error.

“I asked for five Cash4Life tickets and handed him the money,” the lucky player explained. “However, the attendant made a mistake and gave me a Multi-Match ticket instead. At first, I thought it was the work of a new employee. He was incredibly apologetic.”

Despite the mix-up, the player chose to keep the ticket. It wasn’t until a few days later that he discovered his fortune when he won the $580,000 prize from the Multi-Match drawing. The man decided to verify his win.

“On my way home from work that night, I stopped by the retailer and scanned the ticket. I even took a picture of the message to prove it was true,” he recalled excitedly.

Initially skeptical, the winner’s wife became convinced when she saw the photo of the winning message.

“If anyone deserves this, it’s him,” she said. “He’s a hard-working man, a loving husband, and a devoted father.”

The couple plans to use the prize money to pay off their child’s college loan and embark on a new family-run healthcare business dedicated to providing care for the elderly.
