POSTAL WORKER GETS DELIVERY OF HIS LIFE
September 16, 2008
(Baltimore) – Just one number away from winning the entire Mega Millions jackpot, a Prince George’s County postal worker was the recipient of the second-tier prize of $250,000.
The man purchased his ticket in August at the Seat Pleasant BP on 5818 MLK Jr. Highway in Seat Pleasant. But, he didn’t arrive at Lottery Headquarters until this past Monday to claim his win. In fact, it wasn’t until early this month that he even checked his ticket. The 28-year-veteran of the postal service then phoned the customer service line at Lottery Headquarters on four different occasions to verify his numbers. “I cried,” he said when finally convinced he’d won. “I have been playing for many years in hopes that I could win and retire early….and it happened.”
The 56-year-old winner, who is single, notified his brother, sister and nephew about his good fortune. “Once the check clears, I plan to retire,” he said. “I’ll also help out family, church and continue to pay rent at my apartment.”
