GRANTSVILLE — A Garrett County woman opened the new year with a bang.

The Grantsville resident bought a Maryland Lottery Fast Play Big Money Doubler ticket Jan. 3 at Chestnut Ridge Gas & Liquors in Grantsville, and walked away with a $127,387 progressive jackpot prize.

The winner, who was not identified, claimed the prize at lottery headquarters in Baltimore on Friday. She told officials that she hasn’t decided what to do with the money.

The $5 ticket has a jackpot that starts at $40,000 and grows with the sale of each ticket until someone wins. The game went on sale in January 2023 and has 11 progressive jackpot prizes remaining. The Garrett player’s win was the fourth jackpot-winning ticket.

For selling the lucky ticket, Chestnut Ridge Gas & Liquors wins a $1,000 bonus.
