(CNN) — Call it a lucky streak! A man in Baltimore County, Maryland recently won $ 100,000 on a scratch-off ticket, and it’s not the first time.
The 47-year-old cook, who was not named by Maryland Lottery officials, also earned $ 1,000 earlier this year and $ 10,000 the year before.
He picked up his latest winning ticket, Lucky $ 100,000, at a Walmart in Dundalk, lottery officials said Wednesday. He immediately scanned it at the lottery kiosk and found out it was a winner, but assumed it was a small prize. He later scraped it off and found it cost $ 100,000.
“I was surprised,” he told lottery officials.
The lucky winner has worked as a cook for the past 20 years and has no plans to retire soon, lottery officials said in a statement. He told them that the money will be used to buy a rental property.
The $ 100,000 Lucky scratch-off game has 61 remaining jackpots, according to the Maryland Lottery.
