Itchy palm leads Maryland woman to win $500,000 lottery prize

A superstitious belief about her palm itchiness helped a Baltimore woman win $50,000 on a scratch-off lottery ticket.

The woman, a worker for Baltimore City, informed Maryland Lottery officials last Wednesday that, although she was a regular player, she had no intention of purchasing any lottery tickets.

An itching sensation on her palm caused the woman's plans to alter.

In the end, she asked a cashier to verify the ticket one more time.
