Woman wins ₹40 lakh lottery in US – all thanks to numbers she saw in a dream

A US woman recently won a ₹42.96 lakh lottery prize in a Pick 5 draw, but the story has a twist. The Maryland resident from Prince George's County claimed that the winning numbers appeared to her in a dream.

The lucky winner explained that she bought a Pick 5 ticket a week after dreaming about the winning numbers. The Maryland Lottery winner revealed that she had a vivid dream which prompted her to buy the tickets. The woman disclosed to Lottery authorities that in her dream, a specific sequence of digits appeared that resonated deeply.

Trusting her intuition, she visited the ‘Oxon Hill Zip In Mart’ and purchased a Pick 5 ticket using the numbers 9-9-0-0-0. According to the Maryland Lottery website, the woman won the evening draw on December 20, 2024, in the Pick 5 ticket category.

“We were running late, and I almost forgot to play,” the woman said, recalling the moment she purchased the lottery ticket. She added that she was determined not to use the numbers that featured in her dream and said, “But I knew we just had to play those numbers from my dream.”

After purchasing the tickets during the holiday season, the woman and her husband attended a party. Later that night, when they tallied their ticket, they were stunned to find out that they had hit the jackpot.

Her dream came true when the winners were finally announced, through which she secured $50,000 prize money. Her husband was sceptical about hearing the news and said, “My wife showed me, but it didn’t seem real.” He initially doubted the news, but when reality struck him, he expressed gratitude and said, “But when the Midas touch comes, hopefully, you’re on it, and thankfully we were.”

When Lottery officials inquired about how they would use their newfound wealth, the husband replied, “Whatever she wants.” The woman's husband further noted that they had already given their grandkids something extra for Christmas.
