(UPI) A New York woman visiting Maryland for a relative's birthday won $50,000 from a scratch-off lottery ticket.

The 26-year-old Hampton Bays, Long Island, woman told Maryland Lottery officials she was visiting Silver Spring for a family birthday when she and her mother stopped at a 7-Eleven store.

"My mom came in the store with me," the player said. She was the one who suggested I try a ticket.

The woman said her mother is a daily lottery player.

"Mom always says, 'You never know,' and, man, was she right," she said.

 

The player selected a $50,000 Cash scratch-off ticket and won a $50,000 top prize.

"I saw right away that I'd won $50,000, it was crazy. I showed my boyfriend and he agreed. I was stunned," she said. My mom couldn't speak at first. Then she started screaming, 'I told you, I told you. You never know!'

The woman said she and her boyfriend plan to use the winnings to prepare for the impending arrival of their second child.
