White Marsh woman wins Ravens season tickets for 20 years in Maryland Lottery promotion

BALTIMORE (WBFF) — After nearly five months of waiting, Sharon Kulczynski, of White Marsh, finally received the news she had been hoping for: She is the winner of the Maryland Lottery’s coveted “Ravens Seats For 20 Years” prize!

“I love the Ravens!” Kulczynski said through tears Wednesday morning at M&T Bank Stadium, where the Maryland Lottery wrapped up its 2025 Ravens Second-Chance Promotion with a dramatic winner reveal.

Kulczynski was one of six finalists selected in drawings held throughout the 2025 football season. Her name was originally drawn on Sept. 23.

Each finalist won $10,000 and was invited, along with a guest, to the stadium for a behind-the-scenes tour and the final announcement.

The other finalists were Joyce Merson of Pasadena, Shawne Stephens of Windsor Mill, Cornell Toney of Bowie, Francine Tripp-Jones of Laurel, and Patricia Williams of Baltimore.

The tour concluded in the Ravens’ locker room, where anticipation built behind a black curtain hanging in front of one locker.

Behind it was a Ravens jersey bearing the grand prize winner’s last name.

Former Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith joined two Ravens cheerleaders to help with the reveal.

As the curtain dropped, the name “Kulczynski” appeared across the back of the jersey.

Accompanied by her son, Erik, Kulczynski stood in shock as she realized she had won a pair of club-level seats and a parking pass for every Ravens preseason and regular-season home game for the next 20 years.

“This is unbelievable,” said the retiree. “If I can be a winner, you can too. Keep entering those tickets.”

The 2025 season marked the 17th consecutive year of partnership between the Maryland Lottery and the Baltimore Ravens, offering themed scratch-off tickets and second-chance promotions.

Players entered non-winning $2 Ravens X2 and $10 Ravens X10 scratch-offs into promotional drawings, generating more than five million entries and awarding more than $640,000 in cash and Ravens-themed prizes throughout the 2025 season.

More than 1.1 million entries were submitted specifically for the “Ravens Seats For 20 Years” grand prize drawing.

Although the football season has ended, Ravens scratch-off tickets remain available.

As of Feb. 18, one $200,000 top prize remains unclaimed on the $10 Ravens ticket, along with one $50,000 prize, four $10,000 prizes, and thousands of prizes ranging from $10 to $1,000.

The $2 ticket still has two unclaimed $20,000 top prizes and tens of thousands of prizes ranging from $2 to $5,000.

For Kulczynski, however, the biggest prize of all will be cheering on the Ravens from club-level seats for the next two decades.
