Texas trucker wins $2 million jackpot in Maryland scratchers game
A truck driver from Texas won a $2 million top prize on a Maryland scratch-off lottery ticket, according to the information provided. The win came from a Maryland scratchers game and was reported as a jackpot prize.
While the details of where the ticket was purchased and which specific scratch-off game it came from were not provided, the headline indicates the driver was traveling through Maryland when the winning ticket was bought and played.
For drivers who spend long stretches on the road, stories like this land close to home because they reflect a common reality of the job: trucking often takes people far from their home state, and day-to-day purchases—fuel, food, a quick stop inside a store—happen wherever the route leads.
Lottery wins by out-of-state travelers also highlight how state-run games can draw participation from the wider flow of interstate commerce, especially in busy freight corridors where professional drivers routinely pass through.
