LANHAM, Md. — A lucky Maryland Lottery player is set to receive $1,000 every week for life after purchasing a winning Cash4Life ticket from the Wegmans grocery store in Lanham. The life-changing prize stems from the June 18 drawing, making this the first second-tier winner of 2025 in Maryland and the twelfth overall since the game launched in the state.
The Winning Ticket
The winning numbers drawn were: 17, 26, 30, 47, 57, with a Cash Ball of 4.
While the player did not match the Cash Ball, they matched all five main numbers—qualifying for the second-tier prize:
-
$1,000 per week for life, or
-
A one-time cash option of $1 million before taxes.
The winning ticket was sold at the Wegmans store located at 9001 McHugh Drive in Prince George’s County. As a reward, the retailer will receive a $2,500 bonus from the Maryland Lottery.
A Rare Win in Maryland
This marks the first Maryland second-tier Cash4Life winner of the year and follows the previous winner from December 31, when a Harford County man claimed the same prize. The Maryland Lottery joined the multistate Cash4Life game in January 2016 and has since recorded a dozen second-tier winners.
