ANNAPOLIS, Md. — One lucky Baltimore City resident became a millionaire on Tuesday.
The 57-year-old was selected to take home a grand prize of $1 million, as part of the Maryland Lottery's VaxCash 2.0 promotion.
He did not want to release his name, but said he would now like to be called "Mr. Millionaire."
“I asked the man on the phone if he was serious, I had no words to say. I was in shock. I still have no words," said Mr. Millionaire.
Over the last 12 weeks, another anonymous boosted Marylander won half-a-million bucks while 10 more received $50,000 a piece.
