CLEVELAND (WJW) — A $50 Ohio Lottery scratch-off ticket recently sold in Cleveland paid off 100,000 times over.
AJ’s Drive Thru, 10301 St. Clair Ave., Cleveland, sold an Ultimate $5,000,000 Scratch-Off ticket that won the top prize of $200,000 per year for 25 years, according to a Thursday, April 30, news release from the Ohio Lottery.
That’s a total of $5 million.
The ticket was claimed by a trust, which opted for the 25-year annuity, rather than a lump sum, according to the release.
After mandatory state and local taxes of 26.75%, the trust is taking home a total of $3,662,500.
As of Thursday, three top prizes still remained for that scratch-off.
