For the second time in 2024, the Maryland Lottery has a jackpot winner for the Multi-Match game.
The winning ticket
The winning Multi-Match ticket came from the Monday, April 29 drawing. The winning numbers for that draw were 4, 13, 21, 34, 42, and 43. The lucky ticket matched all six numbers to win the jackpot, which was $660,000 for the night.
The winner has not been announced, but the winning ticket was purchased at St. Paul Mini Mart, located at 815 St. Paul Street in Baltimore City. For selling the winning ticket, the lucky lotto retailer will receive a $1,000 bonus.
The Multi-Match winner will get to choose between the annuity, which is paid out in 25 equal installments, or an estimated $380,000 cash option (before taxes).
Other Multi-Match jackpot wins
This was the second Multi-Match jackpot win for 2024. The last win was on March 25, when a ticket in Belcamp won $2.1 million. The ticket was claimed by an anonymous couple in Aberdeen.
The Maryland Lottery shared some details on other jackpot wins for Multi-Match. The jackpot was hit 10 times in 2023, six times in 2022, and five times in 2021.
