Dayton, Ohio – A lucky Dayton man is celebrating a $50,000 prize after playing the Ohio Lottery Scratch-Off game, Cash Explosion 25X. What makes this win even sweeter is how it all started — with just $10 in Lottery Cash earned through MyLotto Rewards points.
Using those points, he picked up two tickets, one of which turned out to be the jackpot winner. The winning ticket was purchased at Wayne Sunoco, located at 1502 Wayne Ave. in Dayton — a store that already holds special meaning for the winner. Just last year, he scored $10,000 there on a Bingo Times 25 ticket.
Following standard tax withholdings of 28 percent, the winner will take home $36,000. He says he plans to use part of the money for a well-earned vacation.
This latest win is another example of how Ohio Lottery’s rewards and promotions can lead to big surprises. Players are reminded to play responsibly — and sometimes, lightning really does strike twice.
