An Ohio man’s forgetful memory led to him winning a huge lottery prize.
The Roseville man won $50 on a Best of 7’s scratch-off ticket. But, he forgot the ticket at home and couldn’t cash it in, an Oct. 28 news release from the Ohio Lottery said.
The man decided he would buy another $10 Best of 7’s ticket from a store in Zanesville, since he won on the first one. After scratching the ticket in his car, he almost got sick, lottery officials said.
This time, he won $500,000, leaving him in complete disbelief.
The man called his wife, who didn’t believe it either. But it started to feel real after his son confirmed the win on the Ohio Lottery app.
The man shared advice on how others can get lucky with lottery officials: “You can’t win if you don’t play.”
After taxes, he will take home $364,375.
He said he plans to pay off his house, get a new car and “stop working seven days a week so he can enjoy more time with his family.”
Zanesville is about a 55-mile drive east from Columbus.
