Lottery player uses birthday on tickets for a year — then win has her in a panic

A woman was so excited when she found out she won money in the lottery that she almost had a panic attack, she told Maryland lottery officials.

She bought the tickets at the same place she usually goes, using a number combination linked to her birthday, which she’s been doing for about a year, according to a March 22 news release.

It finally paid off. She bought two tickets and placed a $1 straight bet on both for the evening drawing on March 14, the release said.

She won two $50,000 prizes.

“I was so excited and nervous I almost had a panic attack,” she said.

Lottery officials did not release the woman’s name but said she works as a government contractor. When she isn’t working, she enjoys line dancing and spending time with family.

She’s planning to use her winnings for a down payment on a house and to buy a car for her son, the release said.
