A resident of Germantown, Maryland, has won $50 000 in the Pick 5 lottery for the second time in 2026. One big win — luck. Two identical ones within a few months — already a reason to check if the Universe is working as her accountant.
Every Tuesday, the woman sends her grandson to the store for Pick 3, Pick 4, and Pick 5 tickets. During a routine family errand, he bought a ticket that brought his grandmother another $50 000.
This time, she bet on her special numbers — 12912. And on the evening of August 23 they came up in exactly the right order.
The result — $50 000.
The funniest thing is that something similar had already happened to her in April of the same year. Back then, she also won $50 000. This means that within a few months, the grandmother visited the lottery office twice with practically the same phrase:
— Hello. It's me again.
But the family believes the second win wasn't just luck.
That day, the woman and her grandson stopped at a roadside self-service farm stand. They noticed that some customers were taking produce and leaving without putting anything in the payment box. The grandmother made a point of finding the money and paying honestly.
And that evening, she checked her ticket — and discovered the win.
Her grandson immediately delivered his verdict:
it's karma.
The winner plans to spend part of the money on renovating her house, put part aside, and also share some with her grandson, who dutifully buys her tickets.
So now, when she appears, the cashier has every reason not to ask:
— Which ticket?
But to say right away:
— Your usual $50 000? 😄
