BALTIMORE, MD — A Baltimore man who won $50,000 from a Maryland Lottery scratch-off plans to bank his winnings and stay focused on his career.
On Wednesday, the loyal lottery player shared his plans while at Maryland Lottery headquarters. He described scratch-offs as a hobby, with a set daily budget, and emphasized that his finances and job are stable.
“I’m a big advocate of playing scratch-offs,” he said, noting his disciplined approach to the game. His $50,000 win on the $5 “20X The Cash” game is his biggest prize yet, adding to previous wins of $500 and $1,000. He purchased the winning ticket at the 7-Eleven store at 55 Market Place, which will receive a $500 bonus for selling the top-prize ticket.
The game still has three top prizes remaining, along with other prizes ranging from $5 to $5,000.
New York Man Sentenced for Cowardly Murder in Harlem
NEW YORK, NY—Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, Jr. announced today that Tomas Dunn, 24, has been sentenced to 18 years in state prison for the manslaughter of 41-year-old Saladeen Cochrane in Harlem.
Dunn pleaded guilty to one count of Manslaughter in the First Degree on June 5, 2024, and received his sentence in the New York State Supreme Court.
The tragic incident occurred on September 30, 2022, around 10:00 p.m., when Dunn encountered Cochrane, his mother's former partner, near Lenox Avenue and West 145th Street.
After a physical altercation, Dunn armed himself by taking a protective vest from a friend and ambushed Cochrane, shooting him at least eight times. Cochrane was fatally struck once in the back of the head while attempting to flee.
Following the shooting, Dunn fled to his mother's apartment. His arrest followed on October 16, 2022, after a warrant was issued and police executed a search at his mother's residence.
DA Bragg expressed his condolences to Cochrane’s family, describing the victim as a "warm and loving person" and a "beloved family man." He hopes the sentencing brings the family a sense of peace and justice.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant D.A. Matthew Bogdanos, with Nicole Drosinos and under the supervision of Jessica Lynn and Executive Assistant D.A. Lisa DelPizzo. Detective Carlos Thomas of the 32nd Precinct also received special thanks for his role in the investigation.
