$50K Surprise! Maryland Mom’s Stocking Stuffer Turns into Jackpot During a Furniture Move
Talk about a lucky lift!
A man in Maryland recently helped his mom move some furniture, expecting nothing more than a sore back and maybe a pizza afterward. But instead of just dusty boxes and old magazines, he found something much shinier: five forgotten lottery tickets tucked away in a drawer.
As they were packing up, the son came across the tickets and decided to check them—just in case. To everyone’s shock, one of them hit for a whopping $50,000.
His mom, ever the holiday cheerleader, had bought the tickets as stocking stuffers last Christmas, tucking them away with hopes of a little extra holiday magic. But the winning ticket was never scratched—or remembered—until moving day brought it back into the spotlight.
Instead of claiming the windfall for himself, the son did the sweetest thing: he split the winnings 50/50 with his mom, making the $50K surprise a shared celebration. Now that’s what we call family goals and festive karma.
The story has quickly become a local favorite—a reminder that sometimes good things really do come to those who clean out closets.
Whether it’s a message to check your old lottery tickets or a heartwarming tale of generosity, this feel-good jackpot moment proves that holiday magic can strike again—even months later, and under a pile of old furniture.
So next time you’re helping your parents clean out the garage… maybe double-check those drawers!
