A big scratch off winning lottery ticket is sold out in Fairborn speedway

A Fairborn man won a $1 million prize last week playing the Ohio Lottery’s Billion scratch-off game.

Johnny Salyers bought his winning $50 ticket at the Speedway store at 1171 N. Broad St. in Fairborn, the Ohio Lottery announced.

He beat odds of 1 in 235,636 to win the second-tier prize, which is an annuity paid as $50,000 a year for 20 years. The top prize in the game is $1 million every year for life.

As of Tuesday, there are four top prizes remaining in the game that debuted Jan. 3.

Salyers chose the $500,000 cash payout option and will receive about $360,000 after federal and state taxes, the lottery said.

The winner has to reach the nearest lottery headquarters for further documentation formalities and for claiming their winning prize money, lottery officials said that.
