(AsiaGameHub) –   A woman from Ohio (a Buckeye) has claimed a $1 million prize from the Ohio Lottery after scratching a winning ticket while lying in bed. The thrilled winner admitted she struggled to believe the win was real.

The Woman’s Scream Caused Her Dad to Worry

The Ohio Lottery announced that a local woman was playing the lottery in bed when she scratched a lucky Wild Cash Tripler ticket. Shocked, she saw she’d won the top prize of $40K annually for 25 years.

After staring at the ticket for a few minutes to let the news sink in, she began screaming with excitement. The fortunate woman told her husband first, then her dad, about the win. Her father initially took the screaming as a sign of bad news—he was relieved and delightedly surprised once he learned the reason for the commotion.

The Ohio Lottery said the woman chose the $500,000 lump sum option instead of the annuity. After taxes, she was left with $366,250.

In an interview with the lottery, the woman stated she plans to use the money to take her family on a cruise. Additionally, the extra funds will help her pay off her house.

For context, Wild Cash Tripler is a $30 scratch-off ticket with prizes up to $3 million. As of May 6, three top prizes remained unclaimed.

Springfield Woman Won $1.8M on Accidental Ticket

This win comes shortly after a Springfield woman bought a $20 EZ Jackpot USA ticket by mistake—only to win a seven-figure jackpot.

In an interview with lottery representatives, she said she didn’t want the ticket she’d purchased but decided to keep it because she’d heard of others winning big on such “mistake tickets.” She soon joined their ranks when the ticket revealed a $1.8 million prize.

Meanwhile, Powerball recently awarded dozens of seven-figure prizes after an unlikely winning combination matched common player patterns.
