BALTIMORE COUNTY, Md. — A local real estate group is paying a teacher's mortgage for an entire year.
Amy Bowden bought her home near Patterson Park back in October.
She's a high school math teacher in Baltimore County, teaching everything from basic algebra to AP calculus.
She says she never wins anything and as a math teacher, she knew the odds weren't on her side.
"I had no idea what was happening," she said. "I got the call and couldn't believe it happened because I don't win things. So it was really cool to hear that and it helps a lot. The first month here was a little rough so it's helping me to build back some money that I lost."
The payment is part of Next Step Realty's 'Mortgage on the House' sweepstakes.
The group has been doing the sweepstakes every month since 2020 began.
Those who buy a home with them are entered to win the contest.
