  "textContent": "A $1 million scratch‑off ticket was sold at a Maryland gas station, lottery officials said.\n\nA Prince George’s County man bought the winning ticket last weekend at the 301 Travel Plaza on Crain Highway in Upper Marlboro. \"It wasn’t even the ticket I wanted,\" he told officials, explaining he had hoped to buy the $30 _200X the Cash_ game. \"They were out of them, so I went with the $20 _100X the Cash_ version.\"\n\nHe said he scratched the tickets in his car and was stunned by what he saw. \"When I saw the $1 million, I thought there’s no way this can be right.\" He returned to the store to scan the ticket. \"I saw a bunch of zeroes, so I had to count them carefully. I was so excited I kept losing track.\"\n\nThe store clerk confirmed the win, prompting \"high fives and handshakes,\" he said. The business will receive a $1,000 bonus for selling the ticket.\n\nLottery officials have not said how the winner plans to use the prize.",
