We all don’t like it when we get a spam call or a call from an unknown number, but one lucky lottery player used this to his advantage and won $50,000.  The man who is from Maryland  is $50,000 richer after he played the phone number from a solicitor’s text message for his Pick 5 numbers.

The man who decided to stay anonymous is calling himself “Persistent Player” because he plays the Pick 5 every day. The  lucky man whose strategy used multiple sets of numbers, from license plates and birthdays, for Pick the 5  numbers, decided to switch things up on July 20.

“Persistent Player” had received multiple text messages from a number asking for money.  The text messages were so constant that he remembered the 5-digit number and decided to add it to his play list.

The Wicomico County resident was surprised when the numbers 34268 made him a $50,000 winner in the July 20 evening drawing. He had placed a $1 straight bet at Walmart #1890.

According to the business owner, the lucky person will use the prize to pay bills and place  the rest in the bank. “Persistent Player” also gave some advice and said the key to success is to play within your means and don’t change your numbers.

The Salisbury Walmart, located at 2702 North Salisbury Boulevard, receives a $500 Lottery bonus for selling the $50,000 winning Pick 5 ticket.
