Lottery player dreams dad visited him with lucky ticket. Then he wins big in Maryland
A Maryland man’s pastime with his father turned out to be profitable when a winning lottery number came to him in a dream, lottery officials said.
The man, who is a longtime lottery player, would buy scratch-off tickets with his father to see if they would win anything, according to a Dec. 8 Maryland Lottery news release.
Recently, the man was surprised to see his dad appear in a lottery-inspired dream.
In the man’s dream, his dad gave him a scratch-off ticket, featuring the number seven, according to lottery officials. The dream felt very real to the man, so he went out to test his luck.
The man went to a liquor store in Baltimore, where he bought some wine and a few “Winning 7” scratch-off tickets, lottery officials said.
The first ticket won him $15, lottery officials said, but when he scratched off his next ticket, he was “floored” to see how much he won.
The second ticket’s winning totaled $57,777 — featuring the man’s lucky number from his dream.
“I wasn’t expecting it at all,” the man said in the release. “After I saw it, I double-checked it and rushed home to see my wife.”
Now, the man has two priorities for how to spend his money, according to lottery officials: renovating his home and spoiling his wife.
