Three members of a Maryland family bought tickets for the same lottery drawing using the same set of numbers and each ended up winning a $50,000 prize.

The Maryland Lottery said a 61-year-old Hampstead man bought a $1 straight bet ticket for the Oct. 13 Pick 5 evening drawing from Hampstead Liquors in Hampstead.

The man’s 28-year-old daughter, of Hampstead, and his 31-year-old son, of Towson, bought tickets for the same drawing from the same store.

All three tickets bore the number combination 5-3-8-3-4, which turned out to be the winning numbers in the drawing, earning each ticket a $50,000 prize.

The lottery said one of the players planned to put their winnings toward a new home, while the other two said they would invest their prize money.
