Welcome home. We are WNST AM 1570 Towson Baltimore. We are Baltimore positive. We’re positively headed to Ocean City, Maryland next week. We’re gonna be doing the Maryland Crab Cate tour when we get back. It’s all brought to you by our friends at the Maryland Lottery. This is no, and and Seth Elkin’s about to join me, he communicates for all communicators at the Maryland Lottery. This is my favorite Ravens scratch-off ticket because it has the Kiss Face Bird, and you can win 20 grand. And this is the X2, and there’s other editions of this which we will be covering in this segment, and 10 chances to win. But I’ve had them for a week. They are freshly minted, they are purple, and the Ravens are undefeated right now, and shall remain that way for the next six weeks, and I’m looking forward to seeing Seth Elkin next week in Ocean City, Maryland. All the brought to you by our friends at the GBMC and Farn and Derma. They’re the Comfort guys, and I had Zach at last week before the big sell-off. Seth Elkin joins me now. He is a baseball fan of I don’t say the wrong team, his team, not my team or our team, not the orange team. I wore my orange here today. Been a strange week in baseball. We’ll get to that in a couple of minutes. But how the heck are you? We have a huge jackpot going on right now, right? Yeah,
Seth Elkin 1:11
that’s that always sends a jolt of excitement through this place. So we’ve got a $786 million Powerball jackpot, and
Nestor Aparicio 1:20
growing and growing, that is and growing.
Seth Elkin 1:22
That has been rolling. Now we’re we’re into the fourth month. We just passed the three month mark that this jackpot has been rolling. So we haven’t had a jackpot winner in that time, but we’ve had some big winners in Maryland over the course of that span. Well over $6 million worth of total prizes that Maryland lottery players have won on the Powerball tickets that they’ve purchased since the last jackpot was hit on may 2. We had a pair of $1 million winners last week. We also have had a $100,000 winner and 15 winners of $50,000 just in these last three months on Powerball, so it’s one of those things we always remind people: people start playing Powerball when they see the jackpot’s big, and they might not play all the time. Check your tickets because the jackpot is not the only prize. So there are nine prize levels, and you match enough of those numbers, and you’re going to win something. And we want to make sure everybody is is able to come forward and claim when they do win. So, big big jackpot, and that’s always a lot of fun around here.
Nestor Aparicio 2:27
786 million growing. Now, so here’s the real thing. Like, my wife’s going to get involved in this. I promise you. At some point, she’s going to go do some shopping, especially if it doesn’t hit on Wednesday and it it just stretches into Thursday, Friday, Saturday, 341 point 6 million is cash option. So, like, don’t be thinking that if this thing happens, that your boy’s not going to be hanging out in Maui real soon. You know, for for anybody that this happens to. But you mentioned the the the million dollar winners, and I see the pictures up here, Mister Money Bags. I got all sorts of fun stories. We’re going to talk about $1 million, and I have to do the Doctor Evil thing when I do the $1 million thing. But, but there are other tiered prizes that it. To your point, really double check this because if you’re playing and you don’t play it often, you just think, “Oh, I didn’t win the big one. This is where we talk about second chances, the app, all the things that I talk about when I hand these out to folks and saying, you know, if if you really if you’re a Ravens scratch-off player and you’re a non-winning ticket at least first time around, the way you’re going to win the tickets for life, the way you’re going to do in any of the the competitions is to make sure you’re getting modern with your lottery tickets.
Seth Elkin 3:39
Yeah, definitely check your tickets using the Maryland Lottery mobile app or the My Lottery Rewards app. And Rewards is the one that you want to use if you’re using scratch-off tickets. That’s the way to check your scratch-off tickets to see if they’re winners, and that is also the way to scan them to enter them into these second chance promotions, like the Ravens promotion that is going on now, where we’re giving away all sorts of Ravens-themed prizes over the course of the football season, so you got plenty of time to get in on that. But get your tickets now. Any non-winning Ravens ticket? There’s the Ravens times two with a top prize of $20,000 instantly on the ticket, and the Ravens times 10 that’s got a top prize of $200,000. And any of those non-winners you can enter for a chance to win Ravens theme prizes throughout the season. So all kinds of things: game day experiences, the pass for cash experience, the trip with the team to Charlotte, North Carolina this year is when that will be. And then, oh my, mr. Steeler
Nestor Aparicio 4:37
fan guy, I’m looking at yeah. I’m not even going to get into the Aaron Rodgers nonsense this week, and we’ll worry about that later on. But I’m trying to think like Charlotte happens, so it’s Indianapolis win, Saints win, Cowboys in Brazil win, Titans win. There’ll be four and zero. Then let’s see here, Browns win five and zero, Bengals, October belt, Buffalo. I’m just going through a schedule here. Let’s see. Let’s see here. Charlotte, Sunday, november 22. So that trip will probably leave on the 21st. I like Charlotte. I mean, Charlotte’s come a long way. I’ve, I’ve, I pointed this out. I got friends in Charlotte, all that good stuff. It’s near where my mom’s from in the Abbeville, South Carolina, so I like the South and a good breakfast there. But I think Ravens might be like eight and two, then seven and three, right? I’m hoping. I’m. I know you’re not hoping, but I’m open.
Seth Elkin 5:33
You’re optimistic. You’re being optimistic. Well, I just feel I’m
Nestor Aparicio 5:37
trying to be optimistic about everything around here. Steve Smith will be there, you know all that. And hey, Zay Flowers got all the money, so I’ve been talking about that and Steve Smith and all that stuff. And I loved how you turned this thing during Adley Ruchman Baseball Week. We haven’t talked to him on Richard yet, but you went right to football. You pivoted in because you know that I want to talk more football, you know, with you. But this this promotion is this is the biggest promotion you do every year. I know next week you’re going to be bringing me annual numbers and like all that stuff at Mako. But when you look at all of the lottery stuff, all the ways people play, this is your most popular promotion, right? The Ravens. I
Seth Elkin 6:12
think there’s something about the start of the football season that gets everybody going. And any if you’re interested in in the Ravens at all, and you’re interested in the NFL at all. There’s an excitement that happens at this time of year when you start seeing, and I think maybe it’s the same way at the beginning of the baseball season too. Because I I get emails from people as soon as the Orioles go to spring training, they want to know about how to enter the contestant of the game promotion at that point in time. And now it’s the the the excitement kind of turns, especially when the Orioles are not having such a great year, the the attention turns to football season, and you start seeing video from training camp, and everybody’s thinking about football and thinking about those Ravens scratch offs, and we we got them out a little bit early this year. Sometimes they launched in August, but this year they launched in July, so they’re out there now and available for sale, available to to start winning and start entering into the second chance promotion, so I just think it’s something about this time of year. The build up to the start of the NFL season is always a big deal if you’re a sports fan and if you’re a Ravens fan.
Nestor Aparicio 7:11
I’m going to be fully honest. Seth Elkin is here communicating for all communicators at the Maryland Lottery. I like the Home Run Riches contest better because it’s every night. There’s more chances to win, and it’s like so. To your point, like people get edgy about this in February because they want a chance to win in April, May, June, July. Like my buddy Cheesesteak Dave, who was a contestant last year, they didn’t hit enough home runs that night for him. But when I get a winner on that sat in the Truist Club when there’s a grand slam while she’s sitting there, and two other home runs. That to me is a more exciting promotion, and I think everybody loves football season more than baseball season. America has yelled about that, but in a general sense, I love the home run riches promotion, and I know it’s been a little bit of a bummer around here this week. Don’t tell anybody, Seth. I I do sports for a living and baseball for a living, and you know I did I had Tim Kirchen on last week. I had Buster Olney. I’ve had Janet Marie Smith on. I’ve had Evan Drellic on talking about labor. So I mean I’ve loved my baseball stuff here the last couple of weeks, but it does feel like when you can’t win, and I know you’re a Pirates fan. Here comes the kick for you right there that it happens a little earlier, but you get ramped up for football season. But the home run richest thing is going. Orioles won again the other night. The general manager thinks he can. They can still win, and we’re still watching. And every night there’s somebody that can win. I don’t know five grand when the bases get loaded and Jackson Holiday goes large again.
Seth Elkin 8:34
I I think that I was had a chance to be there actually on the 24th of July when Marianna Billingsley was there. She was our VIP contestant to the game, so it was the first one of those VIPs that I got a chance to attend this year and be there in the Truist Club and watch her reaction. She was really a true Orioles fan from way back. Did they hit
Nestor Aparicio 8:55
one? Tell me, they oh they did. You know they had to
Seth Elkin 8:57
wait until the very last inning. They lost in 10 innings that night to Atlanta, and we had to wait until the second to last at bat of the game, and the Orioles got one. And I’m I’m trying to look it up. I’m trying to remember who it was that hit that that that night.
Nestor Aparicio 9:11
Is he still on the team? I’m just yeah. He didn’t. I don’t think
Seth Elkin 9:15
he got. I don’t think he got traded. But I’m working on my
Nestor Aparicio 9:17
comedy career here, Seth. I you know
Seth Elkin 9:20
that was a good one, though. That’s that’s pretty good. So, and and you know what? Normally, that would be my line because normally it’s the Pirates that are selling at at the deadline. But that was the opposite this year. I
Nestor Aparicio 9:29
told you I got up on Paul Skeens at the All Star Game just for you. You know what I mean? Like just thinking about you, and I didn’t see Jason Kendall, but I wish I had. So Seth Falcon is here. He communicates for the Maryland Lottery. So give me the truest club, and like give me a little bit on that because you did go experience it, and that’s pretty cool. And again, and I’m promoting this, and I’m giving out Raven Scratch off, and I love the kiss face. I mentioned that we’d be doing that. By the way, Fishmonger’s daughter on the 19th of the Maryland Crab Cake Tour, and then the 26th, we’re back at Koco’s Pub, which I’m looking forward to. We’re gonna be at State Fair. I don’t want to give the date away. I want to make sure I get a confirmation. We’re gonna do a breakfast show at State Fair as well. All brought to you by the Maryland Lottery, GBMC, and Farn and Dermot. So I’ll be giving these away. I don’t give away Home Run Riches. It’s a fast play game. It’s schmutz free, like all of that. But I I do think it’s that’s my favorite promotion that you guys do because it’s so six month, so eight month, really ongoing, and even in September, if the team stinks and nothing happens, there might be a night where they hit four home runs and and a grand slam and win a lot of money for somebody, and that’s kind of cool. That’s fun. Yeah, we we had to. I I got a chance to look this up now. Christian Encarnacion Strand was the one that hit the home run that night. CES.
Seth Elkin 10:38
Yeah, there you go. We’ve had a lot of
Nestor Aparicio 10:39
players here this year.
Seth Elkin 10:41
It was it was the the 10th inning, bottom of the 10th, second to last at bat, and boom, he he he sent one out. So all right, and and and that was that was exciting. And you you’ll see her reaction. I don’t know that we have the video up yet, but there is video from that. And the big smile on her face right at that moment as she realizes, first of all, just seeing the Orioles hit a home run from that vantage point because those seats are great. We’ll make no bones about that. Those are the seats you want to be in if you’re ever going to go to an Orioles game. It’s right behind home. Seth, I don’t
Nestor Aparicio 11:12
want to tell you I sat in those seats for 15 years. I don’t want to tell you that, but I did. I really did. Seth Elkin is here. We have a lot of other things going on, and I think one of the fun parts, and and next week we’re going to do numbers and where all the money goes, and I mean, and one 800 gambler, we’re going to do all a whole bunch of stuff next week. But when people win and they come and win big, and they have to come see John Martin very soon, Jeremy Baker, and shake your hand, and Gail’s involved, and Roz is everybody’s there making a big stink about him, he hand him that big check, and they get behind it, and they put something fun like mr. Money Bags, you know, on the on the the winning line. You meet people every day, and I really do think when I come and visit, and I pick these up from you and Roz, as I did two weeks ago, to take them out on the tour, and I physically come in your building, and I see the old Montgomery Tower, which is always cool for me on the southwest side of town. I think these people make that trek, you know, up and down 95, and make that little turn on Washington Boulevard. Come by Carroll Park, go Classic Five, and they come and visit you to win a lot of money. That’s every day is kind of a fun day in your building, and and I see it because I take the same elevator up that, and I walk past the cashier thing where if you want a million dollars, this is what you got to do. You got to come here and pick the money up, and they come and pick it up, and you capture that too. And I think that that’s really a fun part of big winners in the state of Maryland.
Seth Elkin 12:32
Well, like you said, mr. Moneybags from Cecil County got a chance to do that just a little bit earlier this week. He won a million dollars On the triple red sevens scratch off ticket, he he hid his identity, but he did put on our our oversized red, white, and blue Uncle Sam hat that you you can see in the photo on our website. I don’t know if you want to bring that. I’m going to
Nestor Aparicio 12:53
pull it up. Believe me, that is going to be that is going to be the picture I use for this particular segment. I won’t. I’m not going to lean into football or baseball when mr. Moneybags appears here. So yes.
Seth Elkin 13:06
Well, the the fun part of that is, as I think a lot of lottery players know, you are permitted to remain anonymous when you win a prize on a Maryland lottery ticket. When you come into claim, you can be anonymous, and a number of states have increasingly have gone to that. When I started at the lottery in 2015, we were one of six states that allowed winners to remain anonymous, and that number is up to now I want to say about 18 or 19 that allow some amount of anonymity for their lottery winners. And yeah, you got to get a little bit creative in the way that you present those, you want to be able to to make a big splash out of it, especially when you have a million dollar scratch off winner like that. So we have some fun. We’re able to disguise the winner’s identity, have them put on some fun costumes, or hide behind the oversized check, and we have some fun with that. It gives us the visual to use to promote the fact that somebody won big, and that’s that’s fun for us, and gives you a sense of of the creativity involved in trying to promote our winners as well. But last thing is
Nestor Aparicio 14:10
the fast plays also had some big winners too. Yeah,
Seth Elkin 14:13
we’re gonna we’re gonna get a chance to do this a lot more. We we’re gonna get some practice because we did have that $2.2 million fast play winner in Catonsville last week, and then we we still have those $2 million Powerball winners from last week from Odenton and College Park, and none of those have as you and I are speaking, none of those have claimed yet. But when they get here, we we will be celebrating along with them, and hopefully get another fun photo out of those as well. All
Nestor Aparicio 14:38
right, one of the things, and you maybe next week I’ll have Gayle on because I I don’t get to have her on. I know she’s camera shy with me. Bring her by to talk about events that you guys do. And um and this is a I should be wearing my Costa shirt and we’ll be doing the show at Costa’s Tomoni. We did it there two weeks ago. We’ll be back soon. I’ve been there twice since we did the show. Had that Luke got me in on that crab cake. Shrimp salad thing the other day, so I did a big sandwicher at a business meeting, and they’re really dressing up the racetrack. mr. Costas, there’s a beautiful mural of mr. Costas and the horses along the wall where the bathroom is. They’ve totally tricked out the grandstand, and I know Seth, you’ve been out there many times. You know, into the grandstand at Timonium. The fair’s coming this month. You guys are a part of that. Can I get personal here, just for a second? I don’t know if you know this or not, but you’re on the Best of Baltimore podcast with Nestor Aparicio, who reinvented himself. You know, I saw
Seth Elkin 15:39
that. Congratulations! I’m award winning. I’m
Nestor Aparicio 15:41
award winning, and part of that is I’m. Thank you, Max, and and Ron, and everybody. But thank you for inviting me and my wife to the event. The events at the stadium on the club level. On yes, they let me in Thursday night. It’s the best of Baltimore magazine. So like, I’m going to crisscross with you guys a few times here this month because you’re out and about, and I love talking to you guys about it because you educate me on some wine festival I don’t know about or some cool thing to do. Because if there’s cool events out, you guys are out doing that stuff too. In addition, the Ravens and Orioles games too.
Seth Elkin 16:09
Yeah, it’s a busy time of year for us, as you mentioned. We’ll be at the Maryland Association of Counties conference next week. We will be before that. We will be at the Habit of Grace Arts, Wine, Jazz, and Soul Fest in Habit of Grace on August the eighth. So if you’re
Nestor Aparicio 16:26
arts, yes, arts, wine, jazz,
Seth Elkin 16:29
and soul,
Nestor Aparicio 16:30
jazz and soul in Habit of Grace. They got a new Coopers up there. I got to come up here and see Sam. Yeah, let’s do it.
Seth Elkin 16:36
Quite a combination. So all day Saturday.
Nestor Aparicio 16:39
All right, Saturday
Seth Elkin 16:40
august 8, you’ll find us there before we get to Mako, and then of course at Mako, and then Ravens games, Orioles games, as you mentioned, will be at the Made in Maryland Festival at Curt’s Beach on August the 16th, and then we’ll get into the Maryland State Fair toward the end of August, and it gets busy for us. You will find us all day, every day that the fair is open in the lobby of the exhibition hall. We will have one of our retailers there selling tickets, and you can come and hang out with us and have lots of fun. And that’s always a big event for us-a great chance for us to to get out. Any any of the events we do is a great chance to get out and interact with people. But especially at the state fair for that duration that we’re there, 1000s of people that we get a chance to to interact with. So that’s a lot of fun.
Nestor Aparicio 17:22
Well, we can promote State Fair anytime. Everybody knows about that, but I didn’t know about this Made Maryland Festival. You made me click on it here at Kurtz’s Beach. Yep, dude, dude. If if John were here right now, he would say, “Where is Kurtz’s Beach? And I’d be like, and I’d look on my
Seth Elkin 17:39
lister right over here on my screen and say Pasadena.
Nestor Aparicio 17:42
Okay, this completely Maryland-themed festival features a fun lineup of vendors and entertainment from artisans, crafters, live jousting. Where else you gonna get jousting in Maryland? Food vendors, local wineries, breweries, live music, children’s activities. Put them over there and beyond. Curches Beach is also proud to support Maryland’s most treasured organization. This is important, the Chesapeake Bay Trust. I know a lot about that nonprofit grant-making organization dedicated to improving the watersheds of Chesapeake Bay, Maryland coastal bays, and the Yakugani River. And I’ve fallen into the rocket Yakugani River outside Ohio Pile, PA, a few times. By the way, I have a handful of the Maryland Treasure scratch-offs left, and finally, Seth Elkin, you and I are going to drive over that Bay Bridge by that beautiful Blackwater Refuge, which I hope you stop in on your way down on Wednesday. It’ll blow your mind. And then I’m going to stop the ugly pine Salisbury, and then I’m going to see the boardwalk from the other thing. I’m not. I’m probably not going down ass to the horses right now. I’ve seen them on video; they’re beautiful. But all four elements of the Maryland treasures are going to take place, and I may have them on set with me next week because you and me, Ocean City, Maryland. You know who knew Pittsburgh people are always down to beat, you know.
Seth Elkin 18:58
Even this time of year, huh? Even even with the stewards in training camp and the pirates in contention, how about that?
Nestor Aparicio 19:03
The pirates in contention, how about that? You know that sentence
Seth Elkin 19:06
I don’t get to say very often. Hey, big things next
Nestor Aparicio 19:08
week. We we we are going to have the big numbers, annual reports, all that stuff happens next week. Correct?
Seth Elkin 19:14
Yep. Actually, Friday, August 7, we’re going to release all of that, and we’ll be able to discuss when we’re down there. So we’ll have all of that information. The fiscal year summary of all of the total of lottery, casino, and sports betting that contributed to the state during fiscal year 26. So, looking forward to getting all that information out to to get it in people’s hands.
Nestor Aparicio 19:34
All right, if you want to come kiss my Ravens kiss bird face, come see me for crying out loud. We’re going to be at the Fishmonger’s Daughter, which is one of the great new places. It’s the Fadley’s family, beautiful space in Catonsville, where they just had a big winner with the Maryland Lottery as well. I hope it was Don Moller or somebody that knows him at least, and we’ll or somebody knows Damian at the Fishmonger’s Daughter. We’ll be there on the 19th, then the 26th. We move back to Koco’s Pub in Lauraville. We got great. Guests coming out. I’m excited about it, and I have great guests coming to Mako next week, including Seth Elkin. Hopefully, we’ll we’ll pull Gail over, find out how the Habit of Grace Wine Fest worked out, and get some numbers. We’re going to learn next week where all of this money goes, sports wagering, all of this to really good causes in the state. So we talk about gambling on the up and up. One 800 gambler. We’re going to do a lot of that next week as well. We also have racetracks promotion going on, and it’s been sort of a wacky week. We’re going to hear from the governor on the racetrack and on the Preakness stuff. Luke is in Owings Mills. I will be at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on Thursday for some Orioles baseball, hoping for Home Run Riches Grand Slams for more winners, and hoping that the Orioles hang in here as much as it’s been a rough week around here. Man, we got to get through summer, get the football season. I am Nestor. We are WNST AM 1570 Towson, Baltimore, and we never stop talking. Baltimore positive, and the Maryland Crab Cake Tour. Stay with
