The Winning Numbers
The winning numbers for that August 1 drawing were 15, 22, 25, 26, 34, and 35. The Quick Pick ticket matched all six numbers, catapulting the lucky winner into the spotlight. Choosing to remain anonymous, they purchased the ticket at Sunoco, located at 1400 Liberty Road in Eldersburg.
