Ohio man wins $50K from his favorite scratch-off game, he's won 3 times in 3 months

WAYNESVILLE, Ohio (WKRC) — An Ohio resident has struck it big, winning $50,000 on the Ohio Lottery Scratch-Off game, Billion, a game he's won three times in the last three months.

"It was pretty exciting," said the winner, according to an Ohio Lottery press release last week.

He initially couldn't believe his luck, scanning the ticket multiple times before the reality set in.

The lucky winner, who prefers playing Scratch-Offs, has a history of success with the Billion game, having previously won $10,000 and $5,000 last June.

He purchased the winning ticket at Ameristop, located at 7550 N State Route 48 in Waynesville, a store he frequents and considers lucky.

After state and federal taxes, which total 28 percent, the winner will take home $36,000.

Billion is a $50 Scratch-Off game with a top prize of $1 million a year for life. As of August 7, two top prizes remain in the game.
