Maryland Lottery A bus driver has celebrated winning $5 million in the lottery by cracking on with his daily route. D.C.-area operator Maurice Williams, 59, headed into 7-Eleven to cash a $50 win on the $5,000,000 LUXE game, and used the money to buy another ticket. He almost didn’t realize it had won him life-changing money. “I didn’t notice I had a matching number at first, until I scanned it,” the Hyattsville man told Maryland Lottery. “It’s crazy because the matching number was 59 and I just turned 59 the other day.” “I just sat there stuck, I mean, I couldn’t believe it,” he added. “I had to get my head straight.” To do so, he called his mom, who helped settle his nerves, before he carried on with his working day, using his lunch break to call the lotto firm to arrange an appointment. Now he says he’s going to use the money to buy her a house, and will sit on the rest until he knows for sure what he wants to do with it. Read it at USA TODAY MONEY Read more at The Daily Beast.
