Many players of Maryland’s lottery games are chilled by the findings of a recent audit which reveals that the same people are winning Maryland’s top lottery prizes over and over again.
The state legislative audit of Maryland’s Lottery Agency revealed that, in a one-year period, eight players had won top lottery prizes 200 or more times.
In the state’s Pick 4 game, where the odds of winning are one-in-10,000, auditors found one player had claimed the game’s $5,000 top prize, 79-times in one year.
“I want to know how did they cheat and do it because you have so many people who haven’t won once,” said Christine Moore, a regular lottery player in Catonsville.
