Maryland mom of 3 claims $1M lottery prize

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Prince George’s County woman has claimed a $1 million prize from the D.C. Lottery.

Aisha Hawkins of Capital Heights presented her winning Mega Millions ticket to lottery officials on Wednesday.

Lottery officials say Hawkins is a mother of three boys, including twins and a son who died of leukemia. Hawkins founded a nonprofit following her son’s death.

Hawkins bought her winning ticket Sept. 9 at the Palisades Deli & Market in the District’s Northwest.

The winning numbers were 25-34-55-70-71, and the Mega Ball number was 1. The winning ticket matched every number except the Mega Ball.
