Ohio Lottery Winners from Roseville, Ironton Claim $500K and $2M Jackpots

Two Ohio men recently won large lottery prizes on scratch-off tickets, with one Roseville man winning $500,000 after forgetting to cash a previous $50 winning ticket and buying another scratch-off, and another man from Ironton winning a $2 million prize on a $30 Royal Riches ticket. The Roseville winner, who chose the lump sum after taxes, will receive $364,375 and plans to pay off his house, buy a new car, and spend more time with family. The Ironton winner, known as J., opted for the cash payout of $728,750 after taxes and intends to support his family, donate to his church, and purchase a new vehicle. Both winning tickets were purchased at local Ohio retailers—South 60 Market in Zanesville and Lucky Choice in Columbus respectively. The Ohio Lottery, which has contributed over $34 billion to education since 1974, still has several top prizes remaining in these popular scratch-off games. These stories highlight the life-changing potential of lottery wins and the personal significance, such as meaningful numbers, behind some of these lucky tickets.
