A Waldorf woman is a loyal scratch-off player and her loyalty finally paid off as she won $50,000 on the Big Money game.

“I had to scan it two to three times just to make sure. I didn’t think it was real,” The Charles County resident said with a smile.
She said her prize will go towards paying off bills. The 57-year-old does not have a favorite game, but she likes to play the newer scratch-off games as they are released. She plans to keep playing.
