"I got the ticket one day and I have played those numbers every time for the past 10 years. I am glad it paid off," he said.
The man's ticket for the Feb. 27 drawing, purchased from the Margate BP store in Lutherville, won $50,000 in the Double Play drawing that follows the regular Powerball drawing.
The player was only one number away from a $10 million jackpot, but he said he has no regrets.
"I am very happy with $50,000. It was amazing to win," he said.The winner said he and his wife already have plans for their windfall.
"We are going to pay off bills and take a much-needed vacation," he said.
