LAUREL, Md. — It took a month to get everything in place before starting her new life as a millionaire.
An anonymous Laurel resident who asked to be recognized only by the nickname "Book Worm" finally cashed in a $2 million Maryland Lottery prize.
The lucky Diamonds & Gold scratch-off was purchased on June 30, but "Book Worm" wanted to organize first.
"She created a budget, plans to pay off bills, and, after many years working at a local grocery store, says she can finally retire," the Maryland Lottery said in a press release.
So, what's next?
“Paris has always been on my bucket list,” said "Book Worm."
In case you're wondering, the winning scratch-off was purchased at the 7-Eleven on Baltimore Avenue in Laurel.
