December 17, 2015 - Armando Alvarez is a married father of two who works two jobs and has been concerned about finding the money to send his children to college. But those worries ended on Dec. 11, when he won a $1 million Mega Millions prize. The 41-year-old Baltimore resident had been a fan of scratch-off tickets and hadn’t tried his hand at numbers games like Mega Millions until a few months ago.

“‘A co-worker showed me his tickets, and I said, ‘How do you play?’ said Armando, who works as an auto body repair man. ‘I’d never played before.’ Alvarez said he started trying his hand at Mega Millions using family members’ ages and birthdates.‘In the last three months, the most I’d ever won was $7,’ he said. ‘But I kept playing those numbers. I thought one day they’d come out.’ That day turned out to be Dec. 11.

“Armando was running late on his way to his second job, but decided to make a quick stop for a soda at the Royal Farms store located at 2704 Washington Blvd. in Baltimore, where he regularly buys his Lottery tickets. While he was there he purchased two tickets for that night’s Mega Millions drawing. The next morning, on his way to work again, he stopped at the same Royal Farms store and scanned his tickets at the Lottery ticket checker. He won $1 on the first one. And on the second, the ticket checker delivered the magic message Lottery players long to see: Cash at Lottery.”
