A woman in the US state of Maryland who won $50,000 from a Pick 5 lottery drawing said her set of winning numbers came to her in a dream, reports UPI.

The Prince George's County woman told Maryland Lottery officials she had a dream in December about a series of numbers that stuck in her head after she woke up.

The woman ended up using the digits, 9-9-0-0-0, to buy a Pick 5 ticket.

The numbers scored the woman a $50,000 prize in the December 20 evening drawing.

"My wife showed me, but it didn't seem real," the winner's husband said.

The couple said they are still weighing options for the prize money.

"Whatever she wants," the husband said, "but we already gave the grandkids something extra for Christmas."
