A Maryland couple who have been married for nearly 60 years are finally going on their honeymoon after winning the lottery. Marion East and his wife had never taken a honeymoon due to financial struggles, but now they can go on a trip of their dreams.
According to Maryland Lottery officials, East plans to use the winnings not only for a romantic getaway with his wife but also to pay off outstanding bills. The amount of money won was not disclosed.
The couple expressed excitement and gratitude for their newfound wealth, which will help them fulfill a long-awaited dream. "We've always wanted to take a trip together but never had the means," said East in an interview with local media.
East also shared that he has been playing the lottery since it began in Maryland and has won small prizes over the years, but this is by far his biggest win yet.
The couple's heartwarming story serves as an inspiration for those who have struggled financially or faced hardships in life. It shows that sometimes all it takes is one lucky moment to turn things around and make dreams come true.
