A Maryland man has used the same lottery numbers to win prizes three times. 

The Maryland State Lottery said the winner returned to its headquarters to claims his third $50,000 win in 11 months. 

The Charles County resident won his latest Pick 5 prize in the April 13 midday drawing. 

The 52-year-old Waldorf man had placed a $1 straight bet on the number 48548.

That's the same bet and number that won $100,000 on two tickets he purchased for the May 18, 2022, midday drawing.

"It hit last year and it hit again," he told officials. "My wife said, ‘Let’s play this number’ and we keep winning with it."

He said he believes that most winners stop playing after their lucky numbers is drawing, and incorrectly assume their number will never hit again. 

"Big Winner," the nickname he selected to anonymously share the story of his good fortune, said he kept playing since his win last year and will keep playing after this latest win.
