If you play the Rolling Cash 5 draw game from the Ohio Lottery and you bought your ticket for last night's drawing at the Circle K in Brunswick, then you need to pay attention!
The jackpot-winning ticket
One lucky Ohio Lottery player matched all five of the Rolling Cash 5 numbers for the Tuesday, June 25, draw to win the $290,000 jackpot.
The winning numbers for Tuesday's drawing were 6, 12, 16, 23, and 25. Lottery officials said the numbers for the winning ticket were chosen by the computer after the lucky winner chose the auto pick feature.
The winning ticket was purchased at the Circle K, located at 2770 Boston Rd. in Brunswick. Officials said after mandatory state and federal taxes are withheld, the lucky winner will take home about $208,800.
The odds of matching all five winning numbers for Rolling Cash 5, which is a draw game in Ohio with drawings scheduled seven days a week, are 1 in 575,757.
Big week for Ohio Lottery players
Ohio Lottery players have had a good week for winning, as Lottery officials announced another lucky player woke up on Sunday morning feeling pretty good. One lucky ticket matched all five white balls drawn for the June 22 Powerball drawing, winning $1 million.
The winning white ball numbers for that drawing were 4, 5, 15, 32, and 62, with the Powerball number being 21 and a Power Play of 2. The winning ticket was purchased at Giant Eagle #4124, located at 484 E. Waterloo Rd. in Akron. For selling the winning ticket, the retailer will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Lottery.
The lucky ticket holder, who has 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize, chose the auto pick feature offered by the Ohio Lottery, which allows the computer to generate the numbers. The odds of winning this second-tier prize in Powerball are 1 in 11.69 million.
The estimated Powerball jackpot for tonight's (Wednesday, June 26) drawing is $95 million, with a cash option of $45.7 million.
Akron woman blasted her way to a $150,000 win
Robin Jumbe recently made her way to Ohio Lottery headquarters to claim her big win: $150,000 from the $150,000 Blast scratch-off game.
Jumbe purchased her ticket from Acme Fresh Market, located at 3979 Medina Rd. in Akron. She told Lottery officials:
I got maybe 5 or 6 scratch-offs out of the machine or whatever. You know, went home, relaxed, scratched the first scratch-offs, and was like, 'Oh my god.'
Robin couldn't believe she finally got a big win after playing scratch-offs for years. She said:
I've been scratching for all these years, like 10-15 years or whatever. I've gotten little small wins like $500, $1,000, but never nothing like that.
After taking out the mandatory state and federal taxes, Robin received approximately $108,000. With those winnings, she said she plans on doing various things, including paying some bills and putting some of it into her retirement savings.
Enjoy playing the Ohio Lottery, and please remember to play responsibly.
