Prince George’s County woman wins $100,000 scratch-off, plans to buy new home

A Prince George’s County mother’s gift of five $10 Ice scratch-off tickets produced a $100,000 top-prize winner when one adult daughter scratched her ticket at home and found a matching number 14. The winning ticket had been purchased at Camp Meade Shell, 463 North Camp Meade Road in Linthicum, and the daughter used the Maryland Lottery app on her phone to scan and confirm the prize; she said she plans to use the money to buy a new home.

The discovery was made public on Feb. 12, 2026, after the family realized the $100,000 match. The daughter’s scan of the ticket through the Maryland Lottery app served as the first verification action; the family has not released further details about a claim appointment or whether the prize will be taken as a lump sum or otherwise disbursed.

The Camp Meade Shell sale and the Ice $10 game are specific to this family’s account, but state and regional reporting show other $100,000 scratch-off winners have been identified in nearby communities with different games and retailers. Separate Maryland Lottery material names a $100,000 Crossword 7th Edition $10 ticket sold at Ollie’s Beer, Wine & Deli, 2011 Veirs Mill Road in Rockville, and notes that the retailer will receive a $1,000 bonus for selling a top-prize winning instant ticket.

Regional accounts also describe a different woman known locally as the “Scratch-off Queen” who reportedly won $100,000 after buying a Gold Rush 7s Multiplier ticket at Best 1 Food Market in Capitol Heights; that account includes a prior $5,000 scratch-off win and on-the-spot celebration at the counter. Those game titles and store locations are mutually exclusive with the Ice ticket and Camp Meade Shell purchase, indicating multiple separate $100,000 winners have been reported across the area rather than a single, conflated event.

Practical follow-up items remain: confirmation from the Maryland Lottery that the Camp Meade Shell Ice ticket is a recorded top-prize claim and the date the prize will be officially claimed, plus whether the winner prefers to be identified publicly or remain private. The Rockville Ollie’s release and other reports show how prize and retailer details can vary by case, including the Lottery’s retailer bonus practice.
