Official release
TOLEDO, OH – A local man went to the store to purchase a Mega Millions ticket but changed his mind at the last minute and purchased some lottery tickets to take home so he and his wife could play together. He didn’t win anything from his half of the tickets, and his wife didn’t either - until the last one. He wasn’t paying attention until she said, “We just won $50,000!” They were so happy because they could pay off some recent repairs to their home and still have money left over.
She hadn’t finished scratching the ticket when she told him the news, thinking that was it. But as she kept scratching, she kept winning. She won another $50,000, then another. They got up to $350,000 and called their parents to celebrate.
Once things calmed down, they looked at the ticket again and found two more $50,000 prizes. That’s when the man noticed that the ticket was a $500,000 Bankroll Scratch-Off, so he said we better keep looking. And then did indeed find ANOTHER $50,000 win for a grand total of $500,000!
$500,000 Bankroll is a $10 ticket with overall odds of winning of 1 in 3.90. After 26.75% mandatory federal and state taxes, he will receive $366,250.
After winning this grand prize he said, “We are lucky and we are blessed!” He plans to pay off the house, take his wife and kids on a family vacation, help their daughter get a car and save the rest. They are so grateful for this life-changing win.
Lottery Express located at 1614 S. Byrne Rd. in Toledo, sold this winning ticket.
