The winner chose to remain anonymous, so it is likely that his identity will forever remain concealed.

Per the Lottery's announcement, the fortunate man purchased his $20 ticket from Village Pump Liquors at 4901 Greenbelt Road in College Park.

To the surprise of the Lanham resident, he won one of the remaining top-tier prizes for a sweet $500,000 payout.

After selling the top prize ticket for the Bonus Bingo X20 game, the retailer will benefit from a $1,000 bonus.

The incredibly lucky winner recently visited the Maryland Lottery headquarters in Baltimore to claim his big win.

Collecting the life-changing sum, the Lanham man admitted that he has a big family.

When asked if he had any plans regarding his newfound fortune, the man said: "I guess I’ll be helping them out and investing."
