BALTIMORE — One lucky Ravens fan walked away with club-level tickets to every home game for the next 20 years.

The Maryland Lottery selected Angelo Contrino, 55 of Pasadena, out of six finalists on Wednesday during a ceremony at M&T Bank Stadium.

Contrino and his fellow finalists were chosen out of 88,000 lottery players who initially signed up for the "Seats for 20 Years" promotion sponsored by the Ravens and State Lottery.

Former Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith announced Contrino as the grand prize winner.

“I’m speechless — this is the prize of all prizes. This has been a dream of mine ever since the Lottery started this promotion,” said Contrino, who works as a maintenance supervisor.

He plans to enjoy future games with family.

“My son just retired from the Army and I’m planning to be right there with him at every game next season.”

The other finalists received $10,000 in prizes.

It's the 14th consecutive year the Ravens and Lottery have teamed up to offer scratch-off ticket and second-chance prizes.

Last year's winner was Diane Heil from Annapolis.
