Sports Fan Wins Trip To LA For 2028 Summer Olympics

FORT WASHINGTON, MD — An avid lotto player has won a trip to the 2028 summer Olympics games with the Keno Team USA second chance promotion.

Jocelyn Johnson and her husband vacationed in Los Angeles more than a decade ago and can't wait to return and watch the Olympics. The Fort Washington resident won a VIP trip for two that includes round-trip airfare, five nights deluxe hotel accommodations, tickets to four Olympic events, meals, ground transportation, $1,000 spending money and Team USA apparel.

“We always wanted to go back,” Johnson excitedly told Maryland Lottery officials.

“We enter all the tickets, and we were aiming for this trip,” her husband added. “We thought it was a long shot.”

Johnson said she enjoys watching the Olympic games on TV and hopes basketball, swimming and track and field are among the events that she gets to attend.

Players can purchase and enter Keno tickets into My Lottery Rewards from now until Feb. 22. Players who enter a winning or non-winning Keno ticket will receive one entry for every $1 entered. Tickets will then be drawn to win either a trip to the Olympics or a Team USA apparel and merchandise prize pack. There are three more trips left with drawings taking place on Feb. 3, Feb. 10 and Feb. 23.
