Preston B.

Preston B. of Maryland won $250,000 playing DC 5. While the top prize for DC 5 is $25,000 for a $.50 wager, his award increased exponentially when he doubled down with $1 wagers on five winning tickets. Preston said he woke up with itchy palms and a feeling. He checked his winning numbers and exclaimed, "OMG, I won!" With a list of home repairs in the works, the Accokeek man said he travels to the District to play his favorite lottery games because, "My numbers come out in DC."
