A Maryland man secured a remarkable $151,210 Powerball prize using numbers inspired by a hole-in-one witnessed on the day of the drawing. The fortunate winner from Calvert County chose his numbers based on a memorable golf outing:

  • 1: Representing the hole-in-one
  • 17: The hole number where it occurred
  • 21: The day of the hole-in-one
  • 58: Combined from golf carts 5 and 8

The prize breakdown included:

  • $50,000 for matching four numbers plus Powerball
  • $100,000 additional from multiplier
  • $1,200 for matching four numbers on other lines
  • $10 from "Double Play"

The winner purchased the ticket at Dunkirk Fastop in Calvert County for the December 21 drawing. Remarkably, this wasn't his first lottery win, making his story even more extraordinary. True to his golfing passion, he plans to invest in new golf clubs with his winnings.

This unique combination of improbable events - witnessing a hole-in-one and winning the lottery with related numbers - demonstrates an exceptional case of turning a rare sporting moment into lottery success.

The winner chose to remain anonymous, as permitted by Maryland lottery regulations. His story serves as a remarkable example of how lightning can strike twice, both on the golf course and in the lottery.
