Good things come in threes.
BALTIMORE - That was definitely the case for a Maryland woman who won the lottery three times in under a month.
Felicia Wade, 49, first won $60,000 on July 29 after she matched a series of Pick 4 combinations.
"I was just feeling lucky. I just study the board and pick four numbers," Wade told Maryland Lottery officials.
On Aug. 17, she won $11,730 after betting 10 cents on a Racetrax virtual horse racing game. Two days later when playing the same game, she won $2,000.
Wade said she used to be skeptical about whether people ever won lottery games but she’s definitely certain now.
"I never believed before," she said, "and then a clerk checked my ticket."
She plans to share the winnings with her son.
