The man decided to put his winnings toward another ticket of the same game and earned a $70 payout.
"I stopped at a new spot and bought two more," he said.
The "new spot," Ken-Mar Liquors in Prince Frederick, sold him a $50,000 winner.
"I was shaking and my heart was pumping!" the man recalled.
He bought the winning ticket Oct. 24, but waited to cash it in at lottery headquarters until Monday because he had a long-planned family trip to Busch Gardens during the weekend.
The winner said his windfall will go to good use.
"I'm going to do my best to be debt free. It sure is going to help," he said.
