Maryland resident Jusmin Patel, operator of Jananii LLC, was fortunate to win the state’s recreational marijuana cannabis license lottery twice, setting the stage for her company to potentially open both a dispensary and micro-cultivator business in what’s expected to be a lucrative new market.
But despite the lottery being a game of chance, Jananii LLC’s wins weren’t totally by luck.
Patel’s company submitted more than 2,300 license applications in the state’s lottery process, paying thousands of dollars in fees for better odds of winning.
