Pick 5 Evening — Maryland

You must be at least 18 years old to purchase a lottery ticket in Maryland. Retailers check ID at the point of sale, and tickets sold to minors are void.

Yes. Maryland allows lottery winners to claim their prize anonymously. Your name, hometown, and prize amount will not be released publicly. We still recommend consulting an attorney before claiming a large jackpot.

Maryland withholds 8.95% in state tax withholding (in addition to 24% federal withholding on prizes over $5,000). Your final tax liability depends on your total income for the year — most jackpot winners land in the top federal bracket of 37%, so the effective combined rate is typically 37–45% after April 15. Consult a tax professional before cashing a large prize.

You have 182 days from the draw date to claim a winning ticket in Maryland. After that, the prize is forfeited and (in most states) returned to the lottery's beneficiary fund. If you're choosing the cash option on a jackpot, the deadline to elect cash is usually 60 days from the claim date.

Lottery proceeds in Maryland primarily fund Maryland Stadium Authority and education. After paying prizes and operating costs, the remaining revenue is transferred to the state's beneficiary account.
