A $50 Ohio Lottery scratch-off ticket sold in Cleveland recently delivered a payout 100,000 times its cost.

According to a Thursday, April 30 news release from the Ohio Lottery, AJ’s Drive Thru, located at 10301 St. Clair Ave., Cleveland, sold an Ultimate $5,000,000 Scratch-Off ticket that awarded the top prize of $200,000 per year for 25 years.

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.
