Maryland woman on 'winning streak' after claiming back-to-back lottery prizes
Maryland woman reportedly plans on taking her family to Disney World with some of her lottery winnings
A Maryland resident has claimed not one, but two prizes from the Maryland lottery.
Victoria Sadler, 59, of Nottingham, visited the Maryland Lottery headquarters in Baltimore after winning $25,000 from a lottery game, the Maryland Lottery shared in a recent press release.
Sadler then decided to try her luck with Pick 5, her favorite game, the press release noted, adding that she "believes she is on a lottery winning streak."

Following her visit to the Maryland Lottery, the Baltimore County resident visited Royal Farms #159 across the street from the Lottery headquarters.
She went on to place a $1 bet on the August 10th Pick 5 midday and evening drawings, the Lottery media release stated.
Sadler reportedly used her grandson's birthday digits because they brought her such luck on her win before.
"When I realized I won, my jaw was on the floor! I was so happy, I couldn’t believe it," Sadler told the Maryland Lottery.

Sadler apparently has some ideas on how she will use her prize.
She is planning to "save and invest" most of her prize, but will also spend some of her winnings on a family trip to Walt Disney World, the press release shared.
The retailer where her winning ticket was purchased, Royal Farms #159 on 1801 Washington Boulevard, will receive a bonus of $500 from the Maryland Lottery, lottery officials shared in the release.
