The lucky lady was only identified as "Thankful-Thankful," a 68-year-old resident of the Baltimore suburb Cockeysville. Maryland is among the states where lottery winners can remain anonymous.
The woman often plays the Pick 3, Pick 4, and Pick 5 lottery games using numbers that she sees in her dreams, according to Maryland lottery officials.
But this time, she used a set of numbers from a dream her sister had — which led to the winning Pick 5 prize. The woman told lottery officials that her sister had a dream that she was on a bus and the bus number in the dream was "23815." After hearing the story, the woman decided to play those numbers on a 50-cent straight ticket in the July 29 midday drawing.
