What a year to play Home Run Riches from the Maryland Lottery! The Orioles continue to lead all of Major League Baseball with 176 home runs, which means the Maryland Lottery has awarded $146,500 to Contestants of the Game through Sunday, August 14. Just eight days ago, Kianti Jones of Baltimore won $3,000 as the Contestant of the Game, thanks to five home runs from the Orioles on August 7.

There is still time to enter, but time is running out! The deadline for entering is August 29.

How do you enter? It's easy. Purchase a Home Run Riches scratch-off from the Maryland Lottery. You could win up to $50,000 instantly! However, if you're not a lucky winner on the ticket, you still have a shot at becoming a Maryland Lottery Contestant of the Game. Simply enter your non-winning Home Run Riches scratch-offs through the Maryland Lottery's My Lottery Rewards program. Once you create a rewards account, enter the ticket codes from your non-winning scratch-offs, and you'll be automatically entered into the contest.

If you are chosen as a Contestant of the Game, you'll win $500 for being selected, plus an additional $500 for every home run hit by an O's player during that game!

Additionally, there are four $50,000 top-prize Home Run Riches scratch-off tickets still remaining and over $9,000,000 in instant cash prizes! So hurry into your favorite Lottery retailer and purchase Home Run Riches for your chance to win big.
