Just Minutes Before Cutoff, Ohio Woman Wins $130K Jackpot

Talk about perfect timing. An Ohio nursing student just scored a $130,000 jackpot on Valentine’s Day — and it almost didn’t happen.

The Bedford woman said she randomly woke up after falling out of bed. Instead of crawling back under the covers, she headed out earlier than planned. That last-minute decision led her to a Walmart Supercenter in Bainbridge — just minutes before the 7 p.m. ticket cutoff.

She bought a Rolling Cash 5 ticket through the Ohio Lottery… and the rest is history.

Here’s the winning combo:

  • 4

  • 8

  • 11

  • 21

  • 23

She matched every single number, locking in the full jackpot.

“It was the Lord. Nothing else can explain it,” she said.

After taxes, she’s taking home $95,225 — and she already has a smart plan for it:

  • Pay off debt

  • Buy a new car

  • Boost her savings

 

Not a bad Valentine’s surprise at all. Sometimes, getting out of bed really does pay off.
