An Ohio couple wins $5 million recently in a lottery game
An Ohio couple has won the $5 million jackpot in the Ohio Lottery's Lucky for Life game.
The winning ticket was purchased by Larry and Lisa Tucker of Westlake, Ohio, who matched all five numbers in the recent drawing.
"We've been playing Lucky for Life for years, and we've always joked that if we win, we'll retire and travel," Lisa said. "Now that it's actually happened, we are still in shock!"
The Tuckers opted to receive the prize in a one-time lump sum payment of $3,450,000 rather than annuity payments over 25 years.
They said they plan to use the money to pay off their mortgage, invest, and travel. "This is such an incredible blessing," Larry said. "We are just so grateful."
The Tuckers purchased their winning ticket at GetGo on Center Ridge Road in Westlake.
The store will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the top-prize ticket. The winning numbers from the March 30 drawing were: 10-14-30-32-41.
