A winning scratch-off ticket is worth $2 million to a lucky Ohio man.
According to the Ohio Lottery, the lucky winner won the top prize in the $2 million Cashword drawing.
He scratched off all 14 words from his ticket and won $80,000 every year for 25 years.
The man purchased the ticket on the way home from work. He scratched it off inside the car.
“At first, he was confused because there wasn’t an $80,000 payout listed. He tried to scan the ticket with his app, but it didn’t work,” the Ohio Lottery said. “He scanned it inside the store, then went to another store and scanned it two more times because he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.”
The man selected the cash option.
According to the Ohio Lottery, he will get around $729,000 after taxes.
Cashword offers over $93 million in total cash prizes.
As of November 13, three top prizes and 14 second-tier prizes totaling $100,000 remained.
