Sweepstakes in Baltimore, MD: Updated 2026 List for Local Winners
Check three verified 2026 Baltimore winners, understand the list's limits, and spot unsafe prize-payment demands.
For this page, "sweepstakes" means a chance-based prize drawing; the most defensible updated 2026 Baltimore winner list comes from Maryland Lottery second-chance results. The verified Baltimore entries are three Go for the Green winners, listed below with their drawing dates. This public record is useful but narrow.
It covers My Lottery Rewards second-chance drawings, not every private, retail, charity, or online promotion available to Baltimore residents.
Verified Baltimore winners in 2026
The Maryland Lottery's past drawing results identify these Go for the Green winners from Baltimore: When checking a result, match the person's name with the drawing, date, and listed city. A similar name without those details is not enough to confirm a win.
- April 28: Mary Bailey
- April 28: Robert Trupia
- June 23: Anita Boyce
What does the updated list cover?
The results portal records My Lottery Rewards second-chance drawings. It does not provide a complete directory of winners from stores, charities, private brands, or unrelated online promotions. Treat an absent name carefully.
It means only that the name is not shown in this particular record—not that the person never won another promotion. The portal remains the practical resource for checking later results. Compare the drawing name and date each time, because "2026 winner" alone does not identify a specific promotion.
The 2026 Orioles promotion
Maryland Lottery's Contestant of the Game promotion ran from March 2 through August 24, 2026. Its published rules allowed up to 162 Orioles-game winners through entries made with qualifying FAST PLAY tickets. Entrants had to be at least 18 and have internet access and a valid email address.
Each household could have only one winner per drawing. This was a statewide promotion rather than a Baltimore-only drawing. Living in Baltimore did not create a separate local entrant pool.
Using My Lottery Rewards
My Lottery Rewards is free and serves as the entry system for Maryland Lottery second-chance promotions. Players can enter Lottery tickets for points or eligible prize drawings. Before entering any promotion: Requirements can differ between promotions.
The Orioles promotion's FAST PLAY and household rules should not be assumed to apply to every My Lottery Rewards drawing.
- Read its specific rules and entry dates.
- Confirm that the ticket or product qualifies.
- Check age, residence, email, and household restrictions.
- Review the past-results portal after the drawing.
- Match any winner message against the sponsor's contact details and published information.
Gaming legality and prize-payment warnings
Maryland's regulatory definition of a sweepstakes as a no-skill, chance-based drawing appears specifically within alcohol-promotion rules. It is not a general authorization for sweepstakes-style casino sites. Maryland Lottery and Gaming says the state's legal real-money online options are limited to licensed sports wagering and registered fantasy competitions.
Its online-gaming guidance also warns that the agency's cease-and-desist list is not comprehensive. A legitimate prize does not require the winner to pay taxes, shipping, or processing charges upfront. The Federal Trade Commission advises consumers to verify the prize directly with the named sponsor and report a payment-demanding prize notice as fraud.
